	The subject and Keywords just about explain it all.
	I need some help (info) with connecting my 286 or 386
	to one of the VAXes (a 3600) we have here via an
	EtherNet card and some TCP/IP software.

	I need advice on:

	o	Which card to buy for this particular setup
	o	Which software to buy

	Would software be included with the card by any chance??

	Would I be able to use some of the VAX's resources (such as:
	o	disk drives
	o	9-trak tape drives
	o	DEC Compactape II
	o	Gigatapedrives), or am I pushing it?

	BTW, the VAX is running WIN TCP/IP and has an Ethernet connection.
