From Stephen Moehle {ucbvax,pacbell,hplabs}!well!sjm or sjm@well.sf.ca.us => Thanks for the networking info, but I have a few more questions. => Where can I get Lachman TCP/IP? Why did you choose it over => Microports own TCP/IP? I used to run Microport but now run Bell Tech UNIX. Bell Tech sells Lachman TCP/IP for their UNIX. If you run Microport you'll have to find a TCP/IP that runs on it. => Also, where can I find Phil Karn's KA9Q for MSDOS? I got it from the uunet archives. It is also on Simtel 20, I believe. => One final thing, do you know if it is possible to get TCP/IP to run => on IBM Token Ring hardware with Microport? All our PCs are => currently on a Token Ring network. Interesting setup. No idea, sorry. A. Lester Buck (...!texbell!moray!siswat!buck) repeats my assertion that => => Ethernet boards for AT bus machines are astonishingly cheap. => I am looking for some cheap Ethernet boards. What model and price => should I look at for such low prices, and where can I buy them? I have two Ethernet boards (kind of the minimum for a network :-), one of which is embedded in my Bell Tech IWS board, which also is a graphics card for their BLIT monitor. Of more interest to this group, the other is Western Digital's Ethercard Plus. I have not made a study of the market. The WD was reccommended by my distributor (whom I trust), was $245, and has not let me down yet. -- Jeffrey Kegler, Independent UNIX Consultant, Algorists, Inc. jeffrey@algor2.ALGORISTS.COM or uunet!algor2!jeffrey 1762 Wainwright DR, Reston VA 22090
