It's my understanding that the network card in the Intel 320 system is the
sbc552A (the 320 is a Multibus I system).  The Intel product catalog states
that the TCP32 and NFS32 products, as mentioned by Mickey Smith above, only
support the 'PC' platform UNIX and 'PC' type network cards (specifically the
Intel PC586, 3COM 3C501 and 3C503, and the WD8003E).

Intel sells 3 versions of UNIX V 386...
   SYSTEMV386I   for Multibus I systems  (this is the one for the 320)
   SYSTEMV386II  for Multibus II systems
   UNX32...(many part #s)  for 'AT BUS' systems

It appears that the TCP32 and NFS32 products will NOT work in the 320 version
of UNIX.

I have been told that CMC(Network Sciences), or Wollengong  may have TCPIP
products for MBI UNIX...I'm sorry I don't have more information about the
companies or the products...
