    	FDDI cntrl 700			FDDI cntrl 700
    	ULTRIX 4.1(52)			ULTRIX 4.1(52)

    	    !________________________________!
    
    How can we configure the KERNEL to use the FDDI controller 700 ?
    Does we need a special SW driver for the controller ? 
    If yes where is it ?
    In the SYSTEMNAME configuration file there is an entry like
    	device fza0 at ibus2 vector ??????
    
    Thanks
