As another thought, at Boston University we have solved the problem with
our driver (a major adaptation of the UCB driver) which talks over our
Ungermann/Bass via a DR11-W attached to an NIU-150 (U/B broadband
modem.) It provides the exact same functions as an ethernet interface
(even ARP and Broadcasts) to the higher layers.

It goes in as just another interface under 4.2 TCP/IP and some of our
machines have both the broadband and ethernet so they act as gateways.
It all works fine, has been in production here for several months under
both 4.2 (VAX) and VMS (Wollongong's TCP/IP), Suns soon.
