We use Hyperchannel here at BRL with TCP/IP under both 4.2 and our
mucho-hacked PDP-11 kernels.  The code is from the Berkeley distributions
and I think it originated with Tektronics.  We currently interconnect
two VAX's, and internet gateway (11/34), and our CYBER with the
Hyperchannel.   Netex sucks, by the way.  It's the only hardware
specific protocol I've ever seen that is more inefficient than TCP/IP.
