[ ... ] Is this product limited to use with the ethernet card, or does it support other types of interfaces? For instance, is it possible to supply another packet driver which turns the serial (RS423) port into a SLIP or Asynch PPP interface? Obviously NFS is not a viable proposition on such a link, but telnet, using TCP with header compression (a la CSLIP) would be useful. Perhaps someone could let the group know what is in the kit. I'd certainly like to know the part number so I can ask the Acorn reps here for a local price.
