No, but I'm beginning to wish I did...

It only meant one thing back when I got it.

What about the unix end?  What do I need to run TCP/IP over the 1Mb starlan
card, and can it run concurrently with the StarGROUP OSI protocol?  I'm
currently running SysVr3.2.1 and the 3.2 DOS server and was not planning
to change anything until I can switch to SysVr4.  Will all these things
run under r4 and will they still talk to 3B2s running 3.2?  Oh, some of
the machines I want to log into are the 3B2's - is there a TCP/IP suite
for the 1M starlan boards there as well?
