[net.unix] uda50 driver for system V

I saw no UDA50 driver in the UNIX System V Release 2.0 distribution.
AT&T has a habit of only supporting limited subsets of DEC computer
configurations, usually not the newest packages.  Presumably this is
partly because they want to ship only tested software and there is
a time lag from the time DEC starts shipping new equipment to the time
that AT&T UNIX developers have acquired the equipment, developed
support for it, and done sufficient pre-release testing.

I seem to recall someone saying that the DEC UNIX Engineering Group
(if they are still called that) had a UDA50 driver for UNIX System V.
I don't know if this is really true or how easy it is to get hold of..

	There is apparently a uda50 driver for 5.2 available from
DEC for $2500. The DEC number for it is QSUDA-CG. We ordered it, but
haven't seen it yet.

Digital, themselves, have developed one which they claim is good.

Those who work for Bell Communications Research or for AT&T-Bell Labs
have access to another.

Both the above are for System 5 and 5.0.x, etc.
