    ... Proteon P1300 Token Ring passing cards (which are now available
    for the model 80)

      Michael A. Shiels (MaS Network Software)

I'm sorry, but I must express skepticism about Proteon Micro Channel cards
being *available*.  Announced, maybe, but the only three network cards (for
common LAN media) you can actually *buy* for your Model 80, today, are the
IBM Token Ring Adapter (TOKREUI is the same as always), the Ungermann-Bass
NIC (not software compatible with the older, PC-bus NIC), and the 3Com 3C523
(not software-compatible with the 3C503, or 3C501).  Even the last is quite
hard to lay hands on.
