Hello again.

     Does anyone know if there was ever an ethernet card produced for 
Unibus?  If so, what are it's system requirements?  Will it run on an
11/34a with 256K of 18bit words?  also, about how much do they run, both
new and used?  Also, I would like to get TCPI protocol if this exists in
raw PDP-11/34 octal. :)  Or uncompiled equivalent.

     Okay, second part..  If PDP's can't support ethernet, does anyone
have any idea what would be a good protocol for networking them with
more modern computers?  The only thing I've come up with is a parallel
port...    I would be very interested an any ideas.  Thanks again. :)
