From
http://www.support.baynetworks.com/library/rannex/relnotes/R6.0-Release_Note
s.html I can read:

"[The Annex III] has two or three [Intel] 80376 processors (two CPUs for
8-32 ports and three for more than 32 ports) compared with one 32016 in the
Annex IIe [and previous models]."

So from the Annex III, the annex architecture is kinda SMP(?) i386...
Mmmmh, SMP... ;-) but the architecture may be weird.
Don't know if the MMU is present in these embedded 386...

Sorry to talk about that on a VAX list, but I think the subject
is exoticish enough to interest some hardware collector fans.
