Ah! In the "PROGRAM DIRECTORY for use with IBM blah blah for VM
Release 1 Modification Level 2 of Program 5798-FAL" in "4.1.3 8232
LAN Channel Station", it does explicitly state "Ungermann-Bass 2273A,
or 2274A adapter".

Incidentally, do not be misled by the list of Ethernet adapters
supported by the "TCP/IP for the PC" product - this is a different
software product: for the 8232 you really do need the U-B 2273A/2274A
(unless of course IBM release a new version of the 8232 support program).

In the 'Licensed Program Specification' GC09-1205-01 it states that
the 8232 requires an Ungermann-Bass #2272A or equivalent.  I do NOT
think that this is correct, although I have never seen a 2272A (which
I believe is also known as a PC NIC).

I hope this helps.  I re-iterate that we are successfully using what
U-B supplied as a 2274A.  (It also said that on the box.  There seems
to be a fundamental principle of PC adapters that manufacturers never
do anything so mamby-pamby as putting the type number on the adapter
card itself).
