CHARON-VAX/XX requires a dedicated Ethernet adapter. Since in principle your Windows
host system should be dedicated to CHARON-VAX/XX, you do not need to install an
additional adapter, as you can use the same adapter for occasional tasks in Windows
(e.g. network backup) when CHARON-VAX/XX is not running.

device name you want to use for networking (please refer to Network Control Center utility
