The 3000UX (Amiga 3000 with system V release 4 unix) comes with an
ethernet controller (and tcp/ip of course).

I don't have the list prices handy, but these are the educational
prices as of this month or last for the CBM ethernet/arcnet products:
A2060 (Arcnet)		$  158
A2065 (Ethernet)	$  241

My fall/winter '90 (somewhat outdated, but the most recent I can find)
Guide to the Commodore Amiga (a big catalog of all the cool stuff
people make) lists:

A2000 ethernet card, ACD, West Germany, +49 421 3499517
DoubleTalk (AppleTalk interface), PP&S, Denver, CO 303.825.4144
Lan Rover, ASDG, Madison, Wi, 608.273.6585 (for OEM apps only)

Also listed is:
TSSnet (DECNET), Syndesis, Brookly, Wi, 608.455.1422

	Interesting that DoubleTalk is included in the listing, even though
it's still not for sale, and that Interact isn't listed, even though it's
been available on the market for well over a year. Just goes to show you
that PP&S has better marketing people than DigiFeX, I guess. :-)

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- WHAT?!?!?!

  My dealer has 2 of them and uses them to output to NTX's, QMS Color
100's, HP Painjet XL and a Lino 500. It has "real" packaging, bound
manuals and a registration card. You can send mail via it and move
files back and forth to a server. It also support Amiga to Amiga mode
that runs at 400K/sec (As opposed to ATalk's 200K/s)

  And I beleive the price was around 250.00

I think the Amiga is the best computer in the known universe.
