I know of two options:

1) Cards and tcp/ip software from Excelan.

2) (not tcp/ip) Xenix-Net, using either the above Excelan HW and SW
   as an underlying layer or using Sytek 6120 cards. This provides
   a more user-friendly interface than tcp/ip (ie, you can use
   pathnames and standard Xenix utilities within a trusted consumer
   network).

It might be worth your while to also check out Interlan but I have
personal experience with the above two.
