	HP has both Hardware and Software to do what you want. The I/O
card is the 12076A LAN/1000 Link Interface. It is available with either
an IEEE 802.3 connection or ethernet. The price is $3685 (US) with
a return of $500 if you choose opt. -001 (ethernet connection).

	The software you need is 91790A NS-ARPA/1000 Network Services.
The price of this depends on what processor it will be used on. The 
prices range from $2015 for an A400 to $8380 in an A900 CPU.

	This price is under the $25k you mention, however, there is
a minimum requirement of 2Mb and a recommended minimum of ~4Mb. On
the A900, a 3Mb memory card is $9000. On the other processors, there
is a special product (12176A) that incorporates the 12076A LAN card
and 2Mb of memory for a total of $5500. (You can increase this to a
4Mb card for an additional $1700). NOTE: This special is NOT good
on the A900.

	These prices are from the Nov. 1990 Ordering Guide and may have
changed. I recommend that you contact your HP sales rep for more 
information.
