Ron didn't answer my mail either... the outfit you want is

Bus-Tech Incorporated
131 Middlesex Turnpike
Burlington, MA 01803
(617) 272-8200

They used to be part of Nixdorf but are now an independent company.
Texas A&M measured the performance of their product attached to a
large Amdahl and came up with numbers in the 600k byte/sec range
for TCP/IP throughput.  Not too shabby for a cheap interface.
Tom McCafferty at BTI tells me they almost never advertise.
