ETHERNET DRIVER NEEDED FOR INTEL SYS310/RMX86/iSBC552

I have implemented an IP-level gateway to be used between Ethernet type
LAN's. The gateways communicate through X.25 network.

The software runs on the Intel SYS310 (with RMX86) and
the LAN-interface card is Intel's iSBC552 (with INA961 software).

The problem is that the INA961 software understands only IEEE 802.3
conforming packets, while most other devices on the LAN talk Ethernet.

I am interested in knowing if anyone else has had the same problem and
has anyone found good solutions.
My current solution is to use a VAX (VMS) as a gateway between Ethernet and
IEEE 802.3.
