[comp.sys.next] NeXT as a gateway?

djlinse@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Dennis Linse) (07/29/90)

We are currently investigating ways in which to connect our lab to the
campus network.  The most appealing method would be a gateway machine,
or rather, a machine connected to the two separate networks without
bridging between them (mostly for security simplicity).  I know that I
can make our Iris perform this function with the purchase of a second
ethernet card.  Is there any hardware (and associated software) that
will allow us to do this with our NeXT?   I don't recall ever seeing
any mention of methods to add a second ethernet card (or any such
device) to a NeXT.

Thanks for any information.  I'll summarize any responses that I
receive.
