	Peter,

	We are currently using a product from EXCELAN, Inc.
	It provides rather good TCP/IP implementation. It 
	requires both software and hardware.

	Two different bundled packages of software are offered.
	The difference is that the more expensive one provides
	a NETBIOS to allow other network packages to run 
	on top of TCP/IP. In addition, VT-220, VT-100 and
	VT-52 (ugh!) emulations are provided.

	Price:(US $)
		
		
		LAN Workplace (no NETBIOS) and EXOS 205T
		ETHERNET controller - - $995.00

		LAN Workplace (with NETBIOS) and EXOS 205T
		ETHERNET controller - - $1095.00

	Where to buy:

		EXCELAN, INC.
		2180 Fortune Blvd.
		San Jose, California 95131

		EXCELAN, INC.
		Intec 2, Suite 17 Wade Road
		Basingoke, Hamshire, RG24 ONE
		England, United Kingdom
		(44)256-842296

	Evaluation:


	The NETBIOS product does not work very good. We have
	been promised by EXCELAN that we will get an upgrade
	to correct all of the problems. The TCP/IP transport
	system works very well. It is very reliable and causes
	very little heartburn (mostly USERS not reading the
	book).


	We have 12 PROTEUS AT look alikes using this product.

Really? Do they still rely on (ugh) static routing tables?
