As far as I know Altos itself does not support TCP-IP on ANY of its machines.
Ditto for RFS. This includes 386/2000's of which we have 1. I have contacted
Altos on this and I have been getting "real soon now...." for the last several
months. However that is only for the 386/2000 box. If you have a
286 based box I think you are out in the cold (as I am). 

Third party vendors may have  addressed this problem already but I have
found none. If anyone knows of such an implimentation for ANY Altos machine
I for one would like to hear from them.
