Can anyone help please?

I will shortly be evaluating FDDI interconnection over the QPSX MAN. We
will be using the Proteon p4200 as a TCP/IP gateway into the MAN. In order
to test end-to-end interoperability we need to connect host stations to
the FDDI which support TCP/IP.

In the interests of keeping costs as low as possible, my initial thought
is to use PC/AT compatibles with appropriate FDDI adaptors and TCP/IP
software (with the usual features: telnet, ftp, tftp, ping, mail,
etc.) as the hosts.

Can anyone recommend appropriate FDDI adaptors and TCP/IP software
please?
