I'm not sure about 802.3, but I have seen a 3b2 with the TCP/IP software
running on the 3BNET card talking with a Vax and a bunch of Suns on a single
Ethernet cable.

I don't know about the VMS end, but Wollongong (sp?) supplies TCP/IP for the
3B2s running on the 3BNET card.  The current version doesn't support streams,
but REAL SOON NOW they will have the streams version.
