I'd have to agree with James as far as Class 2 goes, but not Class 1.

While the proNET 10 technology is nice, you are better off using it
to imitate a Class 1 ethernet system.  That's what I did and it works
perfectly for every commercial and PD TCP/IP package configured for Ethernet 
The 48 bit Ethernet address space can be nicely made from a zero extended
8 bit proNET address or even a zero extended 32 bit IP address.

I'd love to give you our driver, but it works using our local network/disk
bios so it would not be at all useful to you.  However, if you are willing
to do the development, I could offer some useful hints.
