Thanks, Peter. I now recall something about OA, now that you mention it. My point to the original poster was that TB most likely didn't employ their own, and always looked to the outside for linear link capabilities. In contrast, their native device, from memory, is a point-to-multipoint hub arrangement with exotic scanning and "spraying" capabilities. At first it was the WaveStar OpticAir Link they they looked to. The last mention that I can find anywhere (despite the "published dates" being later) concerning the OpticAir unit was its use in delivering "uncompressed HDTV" during SuperBowl XXXIV in 1990. Guess that says something. I'll investigate the ML application some more and will report back here if and when I find out the transmission mode and speed they used (whether GbE or OC-12, whatever), and a more definitive answer as to whose unit it is. Thanks again. FAC
