For PCs with 802.5 hardware that supports IBM's ASI interface (as most
do), several TCP/IPs can share the interface with Netware directly,
sending IP encapsulated according to RFC 1042 on the 802.5 net.  These
include PC/TCP and IBM's TCP/IP for DOS (there are also a 'consulting
special' version of PC/NFS, and a Packet Driver which lets Ethernet
Packet Driver TCP/IPs use the ASI, but there is some potential for
conflicts between ARP and the RIF handling in the Packet Driver).

Of course, you need an IP router between the 802.5 and the Ethernet:
Proteon, IBM or cisco will sell you one, a Banyan VINES server or the
PCRoute freeware could do the job also.
