	The problem with Univation is that they are shipping an old version
of tcp/link, and a subset at that.  Call FTP for current details, but
get at least version 1.16, if not 2.x.  These implementations are some
of the only tcp implementations that work with novell netware.
Univation's card seems very dependable, and is one of the few cards whose
software is configurable from an ascii config file (irq, dma, i/o),
which is real handy (love that gensh stuff).  They soon are to be
shipping 1.16 themselves.

	The terminal emulation works much better in 1.16.  And, no I don't have
stock in either company.
