There is a TCP/IP software product for the RT/PC under AIX.  I don't have
any of the documentation with me anymore, but seems to me you needed to
have the IBM Baseband Adapter for Ethernet access.  This looked to be a
Ungermann-Bass manufactured board, but I don't know if it identical to
the PC-NIC card.  The TCP/IP product might also support the RT TRN 
interface, but I never looked at that closely.  As far as getting it to
work with the 3com card you would have to deal with a device driver to
both the VRM and AIX and the write your own code to the driver.

I may be out of date.  I have not played with the RT much for almost a
year and most of that was with the ACIS 4.2bsd port.
