     You need the following hardware:

	IBM Device Access Control Unit (DACU), which provides DEC UNIBUS
	slots and connects to an IBM block multiplexer channel.

	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.
