Re: "smart boards".  If all you want is TCP, and you have a normal PC bus,
you can use one of the smart boards.  However, if you want features like
your classic "PC LAN", you need some sort of TSR I/O redirector, and that
blows up 19K right away.  Also, none of the "smart board" vendors have
anything for the MicroChannel bus yet, although I'm sure they're banging
away at it right now.  Neither of the two cards that are shipping right now
have an on-board processor (and neither is software-compatible with its
AT-bus ancestor, either...)
