   The 3270 card is not a `network card' per se: it is a `Terminal
 Emulation' card which allows a PC to emulate the function of a
 dedicated `Dumb Terminal' on an IBM (or equivalent) mainframe
 system.
   It is highly improbable you could get these to `talk' to each
 other in the fashion of Ethernet, ArcNet or Token Ring.

 Hope this helps,
