We just hooked three model 70's (DOS) to an Ethernet.  We used IBM's
TCP/IP software.  The only card which this software supports on a
microchannel machine is the Ungermann-Bass NICps/2 card.  This card
in turn connects only to a thick wire Ethernet, and ours is thinwire.
We had to use DESTA's from Digital to convert a thickwire tranceiver
cable to a thinwire connector.  It all seems to work fine. I think
some other TCP/IP implementations support a much broader set of cards
than does IBM's for microchannel machines.
