Silicom Parallel ethernet

[souler]

Anybody have any info on this "Silicom Modular Pocket Ethernet Adapter"? Does it work with IBM 5150? I can't find DOS packet driver or any information. Looks like it needs some external power too, like Xircom adapters..

Maybe these drivers will work with that device: ftp://grup-a.net/drivers/Paraport-e/pp950726/

Unfortunately they don't work with a 8088/8086

What about Lantastic Z? All it needs is a parallel port.

What about Lantastic Z? All it needs is a parallel port.

Tried to google and find out what that exactly is but no success.. What is Lantastic Z? Can i use normal DOS tcp/ip stuff with it? Like SSH, WWW, IRC, FTP etc? If it uses only parallel port, how do i connect it to my LAN? Or does it need some other computer where to connect the other end of the parallel cable and communicate with that computer only? I can do that with Laplink if i want to just transfer files ..

I got 2x 3Com Etherlink II (3c503) cards too but 5150 only has 5 expansion slots all full and i can't fit in the 3Com :/ I could have swapped between Covox and that Silicom (if it had drivers) because i have only one parallel port in it.
