I recommend that you consider building a 802.3 based LAN with either ThinLan
or AUI interface.

Out of several available Lan controller chips (Intel 82586, National 8390,
Seeq 8005, AMD Lance 7990 and Fujitsu 86950), the 86950 by Fujitsu is
simplest in writing driver.  It is also the cheapest among the bunch with
almost comparative performance (or may be higher) to all others.

To get tech info on this chip, you may contact Al Chiang at Fujitsu at
408-922-9637.
