Just a footnote here.  The AmigaNet system is marketed by RCS systems, and
now by GVP as well in the USA.  It's based on software and hardware created
by Hydra, Inc. in England.  I played with this a little during the "hush hush"
days of the A3000, when the Hydra board (a DMA driven Ethernet, apparently)
and the A3000 had a disagreement.  The networking software is Amiga specific,
so you can't hook it directly into a Sun or DEC network, but it seems to be
very good for Amiga-only networks.
