We have already purchased the TCP/IP tapes from IBM but are waiting for a hardware solution to connect the two systems. Initially, someone in technical marketing (IBM) suggested we use an RT and a token-ring to ethernet router but the idea never cooked. Now they are suggesting some type of channel attached device (Ethernet) to connect the two systems. Any ideas, suggestions and/or comments? So far it looks like the IBM people we deal with are not completely sure about any clear solutions. Any clues would really be appreciated. Robert Young Peregrine Systems
