I dimly recall discussing Microwave Bypass Ethernet-on-microwave technology with a John Sloan from Wright State back in 1987. Seems we were both violating Ethernet timing rules and experiencing undetected collisions. I fixed my problem with a "transmit interface" command in cisco IOS that Kirk Lougheed put in there for me. Note sure how yours worked out. :-)
Hey, Kent! Yes, that would be me. I left Wright State, moving to Colorado, before that was resolved. But I believe that, for mostly unrelated reasons, the University moved the facilities at that remote location in a research park back to the main campus, rendering the project moot. I dimly recall that our biggest issue with the initial deployment of that technology was getting the rooftop microwave dish pointed in the right direction.
