1. Introduction
The Telebit NetBlazer PN2 (circa 1993) is a router/RAS device designed to connect remote sites by dialing them up with an attached modem. It comes with a rudementary OS that acts a little like UNIX and has limited support for loadable modules.
Two striking features of the NetBlazer PN2 are its ability to boot from a built-in floppy drive, and its 386 CPU. While the CPU is a 386, the architecture is apparently incompatible with that of the IBM PC.
It also includes a built-in Ethernet RJ-45/BNC/AUI port and two serial ports for connecting modems or direct RS-232 serial connections.
2. Boot Disk
Fortunately, our NetBlazer PN2 came with a working boot diskette. We have made it available at The Internet Archive. It has a configuration on it which is invalid by now, but provides a starting point to get to a working configuration.

Please stay tuned for updates pending research and development.
A shell is available via serial port or telnet. Typing "?" in this shell provides a list of available commands. Specific procedures for setting up connections are still under research. Hopefully, we will have some more useful information here at some point.
