To correct some previous postings --

	TCP/IP support is included with the standard distribution of the AIX
Operating System. This includes all you need to get on an Ethernet except the
RT PC Baseband Adapter (and cable and transceiver, which IBM does not sell).
Protocols supported include SMTP, FINGER, RLOGIN (TELNET), FTP, TFTP and 
others. I don't know what the 3COM adapter is, or if it will work with the RT.
If you can provide more information, I will try to help. 

Distributed Services is a separate offering and is NOT part of the standard
AIX distribution. Distributed Services is a SNA/LU 6.2 based protocol to 
provide a distributed file system (a la NFS (tm)) and other functions.
Distributed Services will run over a variety of media including Ethernet,
SDLC and Token Ring networks. 

TCP/IP support is also included with the ACIS 4.3 Operating System availble 
from IBM for academic accounts.
