You can do anything on the built-in port that you can do on the other ports. I have tried on an H50 to get OS/2 IP and VM/VTAM SNA to work together. Never got it to work even though the RedBook suggests that it will. I DID get it working on a T/R card, but then the rules are different. I had one T/R so I moved the OS/2 stuff to it and used the built-in card for my development VSE IP stack. Until they put a card into their Cisco, Volusia Schools will have to have the T/R and a router to convert it to Ethernet. For someone who is port-challenged, using a T/R and an external router (maybe just a PC with both Ethernet and T/R) is a possible solution. There are a couple of 'quirks' on the Ethernet ports. If you have an HMC, it requires a dedicated adaptor (based on different posts in the past). There is a very nice option for the 'dial-home' function where it can be set to use IP instead of the modem, but it also requires a dedicated adaptor. I have always recommended that anyone buying the MP3K get all 4 ports. If they don't need one, they can use it for the dial-home until they need it for a guest. Much faster to download patches than the modem.

If you are just using the OS/2 side to support the Multiprise Console sessions (the couple sessions available from the OS/2 desktop), you really are not using the internal card. If you are using the internal card to support OS/2s TCP/IP stack, then you can TN3270 into the OS/2 side from PCs out on your LAN. BTW, we are talking about the internal card that is on the motherboard of the Intel system. Not Ethernet cards that have been added to the system.
