[comp.sys.att] Help w/ status of sockets and ethernet card

judy@moray.UUCP (Judy Scheltema) (11/18/89)

A good friend of mine has been out of touch with the net and a lot of his
old friends (he's in an area where the phone service really stinks). He
would like to find out the following information:

What is the status of the implementation of sockets for the 3b1? I saw
some bug reports right after it was posted, but since I wasn't fooling
with it, I didn't pay attention.

Also, can someone tell me where we can locate an ethernet board for the
3b1 and the approximate price?

I know this has been discussed before, so please mail any responses. 
Should there be wider interest than I envision, I would be glad to
post a summary to the net. 

Thanks in advance..

Hmmm...  The last time I made such a request, I got about 10 email
messages from other people who were interested in tracking down such a
card, and no other actual info.  So if you know, post!

It's especially discouraging now that PC bus ethernet cards are
getting so cheap.
