Oh great, now what am I gonna do with my PRO-380?? :-)
P/OS does support the CNA. And hopefully, some day DECnet/E will do likewise. Just not

FWIW, the DEQNA (M7504) does have an 8051 - it's at the back, next to the

Interesting. I wonder what it does. I would think some control functions -- an 8051
isn't fast enough to be involved in the packet handling itself.
