Thanks for all the information I have received about 
PC-RT ethernet. 

Most of the answeres applicable to be ( that is on AIX)
seem to be: I already have the software if I am using
the IBM base band adapter card.

However I have a 3COM card. It is an ethernet card made
by 3COM corporation for PCs. It works just fine on
XT's or AT's. I do not have a base band adapter card,
at least not yet. Hence need for software to run networking
on this 3COM beast.

Another Query:
 AIX comes with a program ate (async 
terminal adapter) that uses /dev/tty0 (or any tty line)
to talk to a modem or a any asynch host. I have 
connected an AT serial/parallel card as /dev/tty0 and
am using to connect to a department host through a
RS232 line. However when ate is invoked from an X-Window 
window, it hangs.

I am running AIX 2.1.2 and it does not seem to have 
tip or cu. has any one solved the problem of
running a terminal emulator on a serial line 
from X-Windows.

Thanks
