I'm in the process of looking at some lan software/hardware for some 
VAX 780's (yes, there are 780's out there without ethernet) and PC clones. 

I'd appreciate if some kind souls would share their experiences with
hardware/software vendors for:

	. Ethernet cards for the VAX 
	. NFS from wherever (including Ultrix 2.0)
	. Anyone using NFS on a PC ?
	. Anyone using FREEDOMNET ?

Also any words of wisdom about some of the boards with some of the TCP/IP 
protocol on them ?  Specifically, would I have problems between an 
Excelan Exos 204 and a DEC DELUA ?

				Thanks in advance,
