Ahh, now the bell rings - ACP186, today named ICA186,
an 8 port
card for terminal and/or LAN/WAN connections. There are lots of
different software configurations available to setup multi-
protocoll PADs and Routers with this beast using DOS or Unix.
These cards can be used to provide TCP/IP routing over frame
relay and/or X25, transparent LAN acces over SNA/SDLC for
3270/3780 BSC, Burroughs, Univac or Honeywell protocolls
and last but not least of course Async. Or connect these
protocolls direct to X25.
maybe check the franklin pages for more info

Hint: look for MPP (Multi Protocoll PADs)
The boards are more or less junk without the soft.
Unless you want to have some small sub CPUs in your AT :)
Thanks, I knew someone on this list would know. ;)
If I can I think I will add them to my next pile and see if they attract
some software. Maybe even a cable. ;)
Any chance these cards might work with a larger modem sized box called a
CompuTone with what looks like 16 RJ(not sure if 11 or 45) ports on it and
a single DB something 3 row connector?
