ALP $ show devi /full ewa0

Device EWA0:, device type DE500, is online, network device, [...]

ALP $ write sys$output f$getdvi( "ewa0", "adapter_ident")
DE500-BA (Fast Ethernet)

ALP $ tcpip show vers

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 5
  on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V8.3

   All my multi-port cards were Intel (EI), so I don't know
what a DE504-xx does.  On the bright side, I seem to have
everyone fooled with the re-ID'd (cheap) gigabit card:

alp $ write sys$output f$getdvi( "ewb0", "adapter_ident")
DEGXA-TB (Gigabit Ethernet)
