IBM PC w/128Kb and 1 floppy, which is the brains of the DACU 1 Interlan UNIBUS dumb Ethernet card, plus cables, tranceivers, etc. Incidentally, the IBM mainframe does all the protocol processing; the DACU and Interlan cards are unintelligent and the PC is just there to get the DACU started; the packets don't pass through the PC. Supposedly this all works OK, but I haven't used it. Contact your IBM rep for further info. If you get the product announcment info for the program, all the basic questions are answered there.
