Someone gave me the wrong info on the price of the NP100 the
first time I called.  It should be $4290 which includes the
transceiver cable to the computer's chasis mounting block and
license to run the protocol software.
The protocol and host software is a $1000 one time charge.
They don't expect to ship the TCP/IP product until first
quarter of 85.  User level programs (Telnet, FTP, etc)
will have to be re-linked with a new library which handles
the communication with the protocol software in the board.
A link level driver is a possibility.
	Their architecture looks quite a lot like Excelan's.
I wonder if Intel has published an application note that
contains this design?
