Do any of the ultrix networking protocols (tcp/ip, decnet, lat etc.) work
with any of the unibus to ethernet cards *other* than digital's deuna?
I assume tcp/ip would in all cases once the right device driver, hopefully
supplied by the vendor, was installed. I also assume that decnet would
not work and am unsure about lat. Can anyone answer this question with
regard to the products of 3Com, Interlan, Excelan etc? Thanks.

I'm looking for a controller which draws less than the deuna's 15 amps
at +5V. I've heard that there is a new deuna which will use something like
8 amps (but the Excelan card only draws 5.5 amps). But it was still just
a rumor at DECUS.
