We're considering using a 386 PC as a "very smart" terminal to a Unix
machine (e.g. an Alliant), but a serial line will be too slow for our
application, so I'm looking for Ethernet hardware and software for the
PC.  We need TCP/IP support and we want to write our own terminal emulator
so what we really want is a library of routines we can call from C to
talk over the Ethernet.  So far, I've talked to Novelle (sp?) but they
mainly want to sell their LAN software for file transfers, etc.

What's out there?  (If you'll reply by mail, I'll summarize.)
