Both Western Digital & InterLan sell TPE cards for Synoptics TPE networks.
Cable tron has recently started selling their own cards including a TPE
transceiver on board.  It is also possible to buy external TP transceivers
which attach to the AUI port of standard Ethernet cards, but these are generallyexpensive (~$300/transceiver, + cost of Ethernate card).  

Products similar to these also exist for the Mac, but I don't remember off hand who makes them.  Try calling Synoptics for more info about cards for their
systems.
