I think it's an '020 - I'm sure it's a Motorola chip), and a telnet and ftp. I'm not sure about other utilities. The cost is about $3k, with the board and the software for a single board. It is sold by: FasTech Integration 400 Fifth Ave. Waltham, Mass 02154 (617) 890-1776 We've done business with Fastech involving their other products, and they've been very reliable and provide excellent technical support. CMC has apparently turned over the sales and marketing of this board and the QNX software to Fastech. I was at Fastech for training in April and saw the beta-product running then. Also, I just returned from QNX/90 in Ottawa, and Fastech was an exhibitor, and the only product they were marketing was this Ethernet combo. BTW, I've gotten NCSA Telnet and FTP running under QDOS (using a 3Com card) without any difficulty. I also modified NCSA Telnet to run under RUNDOS so that it would handle file transfers correctly. So that is another possible solution for you.
