I have recently purchased (ordered) an AT&T 6386E computer, this will be running Unix 3.2 and I have had a very difficult time in searching out TCP/IP for this product. Presently I have a desktop version of this CPU running 3.1 and stuffed in a EXCELAN 205T card and it's software - unfortunitly it is really not intended for 3.1 and many hacks were required to get this running at a minimal level. Recently however I was informed that AT&T now has software for this apparently JUST released. I was informed by the "hotline" of this but have no com codes, pec codes, prices, etc.... It is suppose to support the micom ethernet hardware. Question: Anyone aware of this? A name a pec/com code perhaps? Does it directly support what model of micom hardware? Will micom hardware be supported directly ? Or is AT&T "stamping" their name on a micom card? Is this a port of the WIN TCP/IP? Or has AT&T developed their own? Any and all information regarding this product is appreciated greatly! Please forward information to either: steven@lakesys or manager@marque -- Steven M.

Be advised, it's not compatible with 1MB starlan (except were indicated) and, it ain't cheap... PC Ethernet NAU (Network Access Unit) ?? Standard ETHERNET board for PC's. This NAU has a standard AUI connector for access to standard ETHERNET connections, and a BNC connector for connections using thin coax cable. 3b2 NI card ?? ETHERNET compatible expansion board allowing a 3b2 to connect to starlan-10 network via the AUI adapter NAU Plus PEC Code 2614-102 Intelligent ETHERNET compatible expansion board for the 6386 WGS with the network connection via the AUI adapter. Network Hub Unit PEC Code 2610-002 All network connections are made through the NHU, which provides flexible star configuration options. The NHU provides 11 modular jacks and one AUI port. The AUI port allows connections for existing coax-based ETHERNET networks. AUI Adapter PEC Code 2611010 The AUI adapter enables network access for devices equipped with an ETHERNET controller card, including ETHERNET Version 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 compatible PC's, minicomputers, terminal servers, "ethermuxes", repeaters and bridges. The AUI side of the adapter may be connected directly or via AUI cable to the ETHERNET node. The wire side jack is connected to the HUB via modular cord. I have not verified these PEC Codes, so don't take them as gospel. For the two that I'm missing, and to double check the rest contact the AT&T Commcode Hotline at 1-800-654-5832, they are very helpful people. Make sure you tell them that this is for starlan 10 products, and that they are very new, some of them might not have been entered into their books yet. Craig Votava [att!]looney!cmv

The product is based on the Micom/Interlan NP600A, and yes, AT&T will most likely be stamping their name on it. (There is a Warranty Uplift program that *may* include it, but I'm not certain if this particular product has been included.) The software is also from Micom/Interlan, Wollongong has not been anywhere near it. The PEC is 9205-068, this is sofware and board. -- Marc Mengel mmengel@cuuxb.att.com attmail!mmengel {lll-crg|mtune|att}!cuuxb!mmengel
