Following up my posting of yesterday, two further points:

  1. I have nothing to do with the University of Melbourne, and my opinions
     are mine alone. I just use a guest account on one of their host's
     from time to time.

  2. In fairnes to TWG, the Excelan TCP/IP only gives you TCP/IP
     over Ethernet, whereas TWG's gives you drivers for all sorts or 
     Ethernet controller boards, as well as for 64kbps serial lines (sync) 
     and maybe even for async if I have read the documentation right.

     Personally, I would put that sort of thing out on the Ethernet anyway,
     where it belongs in my view, by using a Bridge Communications Inc GS
     box, or something similar.
