The only interfaces "supported" as part of the LAN Channel Support program are the ethernet, IBM token ring, and IBM PC Network. There exist drivers for Proteon ProNet 10 and ProNet 80, however they are not currently part of the product, and apparently may only be obtained as part of joint projects with IBM. This is rather unfortunate, particularly in light of the fact that ProNet support was included in the 7170 DACU product.

(601) 232-5922 I would like to thank everyone for their information on the use of ProNET-10 with the IBM 8232 Lan Channel Station. The feeling I received from the replies was that if there was enough intrest IBM could be persuaded to provide the neccesary information to write a device driver for the 8232 Lan Station. In light of this information I would suggest that anyone interested in using the Proteon product with thier 8232 Lan Station or would upgrade to this product if that capability where available, to send a message to myself at this mailing address, instead of the pcip mailing list. Again thank you for your information. Sincerly, DON DAVIS NETWORK ANALYST UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI TELEPHONE EXCHANGE UNIVERSITY, MS. 38677 (601) 232-5922

My understanding was that the 7170 product was never supported by IBM for *anything*; it was a customer supported box.
