Thanks Dwayne, I hadn't really thought of that. As this is already a 2 segment node on a CBLAN I'm not sure I can add an extra pair of NCNIs. I suppose I could replace the FONBEs with NCNIs (in the plan for next year anyway) and go that route with a 7.x workstation. I need to extend 4 workstations though, which would mean V7.x switches in the control room. Not a terrible idea, as I could re-use both workstations and switches under V8 if I use P91 or P92 workstations. Really, though, I'd rather use my existing 51D and 51E workstations rather than buying new ones for now.
