Anyway, does anyone have any experience with the Excelan ethernet controller (the one with TCP/IP handled by the board)? We are looking for any experience (good or bad) in general, and the following in specific: o How good a job of off-loading the host cpu does the board do? o How much code remains in the host kernel. This is important for our 2.9 BSD systems which are already straining the limits of the address space. o Does anyone have a device driver for this beast that works under VMS. Thanks in advance.
