[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Info request about 3C503

erd@duke.cs.duke.edu (Ed Darken) (06/17/88)

Can one or more of you kind and well-informed people in this newsgroup
give me some idea of the amount of support for the 3C503 (presumed
successor to the 3C501, as I understand it) that is planned/available in
public and commerical TCP/IP packages? I know of at least one commercial
source, but before we spend the bucks on it (and being a poor little
cardiology lab), I would like to hear about the options.

As of this moment, the 3C503 is supported by PC/TCP (ours), PC/NFS (Sun's) and
WIN/PC (Wollongong's).  It wouldn't surprise me if some of the other commercial
developers are working on it (UMD has stated they've developed a driver, which
will presumably show up in IBM's product someday).  Public domain I can't say
much about, but I haven't heard any promises.

request about 3C503

Stanford's SU-PC/IP (with Telnet, FTP, Finger, WHOIS and
MH-POP Mail) also supports the 3C503 (and 3C523 for the
PS/2).
