Well, I sure hope all that is required is a Network Interface
Card, HP Part # B5427AA option 001, $1418 each (there
may be some Federal Government GSA discount factored
into that price).  The HP Federal Business Center took our
order (and our $) for two of these little suckers just before
the end of FY97 on 30 Sept.

Note that although these NICs are now on the HP price list
and are orderable, my info from our buyer is that actual
availability of the hardware is a little vague;  something like
"not yet, but soon".....
