???
But there is IP in there; maybe i should say TCP/IP/SLIP, since
SLIP just involves encapsulating IP packets in some funny characters.
   There is also a 3com ethernet driver in there. Which means you 
2000 owners can get the 3com card for the pc, plug it in, 
write the lowest-level driver, and have TCP/IP/ETHER. Not a bad deal.
