Sys V 5.3 vs 2.0

[jbn at wdl1.UUCP]

     IP/TCP is now available for system V via the Communications Machinery
Corporation intelligent Ethernet controller.  CMC sells the UNIBUS card
for $3900 (quantity 1), and for $400 extra you get IP, TCP, FTP, SMTP,
TELNET, UDP, ARP, a system V driver (M68000-oriented, but could be ported
easily), psuedo-tty code, and socket code.  We use it in a non-UNIX 
environment, so we can't speak for the workability of the thing under UNIX,
but all the right parts seem to be there.  IP, TCP, ARP, and the Ethernet
protocol are all performed in the 12Mhz M68000 on the board.  CMC claims
FTP performance of 1Mb/sec.
