- Hi All,
-
- A customer of mine has an AT&T 6386 WGS UNIX Box. He wants to add TCP/IP to
- the box, so he purchased the WIN TCP/IP from AT&T. This package is now
- installed, but the customers SMC ethernet board does not seem to be the one
- required by the software.
-
- The documentation references an AT&T StarLan NI board, and a StarLan NP600A
- board. These look like Racal-Datacomm boards that were OEMed by AT&T. I would
- like to get some verification on which ethernet boards my customer needs to
- purchase. I will try talking to AT&T and R-D today, but AT&T has a great game
- of 800-it's-not-my-department phone tag. I spend over an hour on hold
- yesterday with AT&T as employee after employee gave me 800 number after 800
- number. No one was able to answer my question. When I finally got to a
- support line where they thought they could help I was told I would be called
- back. No time was given for the call back, and it did not come.
-
- Please help me identify the board I need to buy.
