  I hate to ask, but why did you buy the cards without checking the
software you need? This is one purchase which should be software driven.
Buy what you need and get the hardware that works.

  For the record, Excelan supplies TCP for their cards with all the
usual routines and a socket library. I hope WD can help you find
software, SCO quoted me a delivery of 3Q89 yesterday. They would not
give me a price, so perhaps your guess of $600 is too high.
