ETHERNET Driver Problem

[Jochen Manns, PI der Uni Bonn, 732738/3611]

Hi folks,

	perhaps some of you are able to give me some answers on the following
	questions:

	a) we work on Data General AViiON 300 machines. Are there interesting
	   groups for DG/UX? What about archive servers especially for these
	   machines? Does anybody know about a BITNET address of a discussion
	   list or DG stuff people willing to discuss problems?

	b) Is it possible to use foreign ETHERNET protocols (below IP) on
	   the DG machines (I'm thinking about own protocol types)? We have
	   some "homemade" VMEbus 68010-boards with out own multiprocessing
	   environment including an ETHERNET protocol of its own and want to
	   connect this to the workstations. Is this in general possible in
	   UNIX V.3/BSD 4.3 (I've got some stuff for SUNs but as I've learned
	   so far: there are no two UNIX kernals behaving like each other from
	   different manufactorers). Since this questions is important for our
	   experiment I would be very happy to get some answers.

Thank you in advance
