Working for the DoD, we are frequently required to develop systems on standard
miltary hardware, such as the UYK-7, UYK-20, UYK-43, and UYK-44 computers from
Sperry.  I need to know if any work has been done for interfacing these types 
of computers to a commercial LAN (Ethernet, etc.) using NTDS interfaces.  NTDS
is Navy Tactical Data System, and the types of interfaces include NTDS Slow,
NTDS Fast, and ANEW.  I would think a network interface processor would have
to do the conversion from NTDS - Ethernet (or whateverNet).  Do these processors
exist?

Currently I have only heard of one effort for an NTDS computer fiber-optic ring,
which is very application specific.  Are there any others?
