  We have what's called a ComBoard from Software Results Corporation
connecting our VAX-11/780 running BSD 4.1 to one of our IBM
mainframes.  We also have 4 PDP-11/70s running RSTS that each have
their own Comboard to talk to the same machine.  They all talk HASP.
It's likely that they have software to hook up to BSD 2.9.

  I didn't install the board, but have been told by the person who
did that the installation was relatively painless.
