    Does anybody know of a vendor who currently (or plans to) offers an SBUS
  FDDI card (SAS) that has some of the upper-level protocol stack resident
  on the card ?  This would relieve some of the host burden and possibly
  enable TCP/IP over FDDI to run faster.  Also, some sort of MTU discovery 
  (based on destination network) would be nice, too.
    Is this realistic.  Any responses are appreciated.  Thanks.
