We are expanding our system base to include UNIX. We just received (Actually, they threw it from a speeding truck and yelled, "Here, catch!") an AT&T 7300 Unix PC. Since we are also in the process of moving to TCP/IP and already have a building-wide Ethernet backbone, the next logical step would be to hook this little beastie into the net. There does not appear to be anyplace on the back of the unit to add such a card. Is it possible to add an Ethernet adapter to this unit? Please, no snickers or guffaws if I'm asking a stupid question: just the facts, cold, hard and brutal as they may be. -HWM ---------- Henry W.

The Unix PC has three slots in the back towards the bottom of the box. There are several (all right, maybe a few) cards that can go into these slots. The ones I know of are: Memory Serial Port Ethernet 8088 coprocessor I can get more information about the Ethernet card, since I have two of them. Let me know if you need it.

There is a ton of information available and lots of free advice there too.
