[net.dcom] point-to-point network links for IBM PCs sought

dyer@spdcc.UUCP (Steve Dyer) (05/11/86)

I'm looking for a PC card which could be used for high-speed (9600 baud
or greater) point to point communication with a VAX or MicroVAX.  Probably
most important is full duplex DMA capability; I'm willing to give up a
reliable link layer on-board if necessary.  I looked briefly at the IBM
SDLC communications board, but it seems to support half-duplex only, which
is a shame.  Gateway Communications makes an X.25 card, but it's also
extremely expensive (> $2K.)  Does anyone have any recommendations?
