It is likely to be the most reliable of any of the solutions that you have proposed and it is easy to set up. It by far provides the largest functionality. The only option is to decide which Ethernet interface to use. My personal favorite is the Interlan NI1010A board. Very reliable. and small (one hex module). Others are DEUNA (DEC) - fine except you can't use it in the 750's main UNIBUS rack as it draws too much power. It is also two HEX modules so it takes up a little more space. EXCELAN - The Excelan board can be run in dumb mode (bypassing it's on board TCP/IP. It's just a tad slower than the Interlan board but we use it on a few machines here. It's a single quad module I believe. -Ron
