A good value and a card that performs well is the D-Link DFE-570tx (see man 4 dc). I use it in my news server which pulls 18Mb/s on one int and throws out a good 2Mb on 2 other ints on FreeBSD 4.x. Search around online for the best price. I had problems getting it for a decent price in Canada, and ended up buying it online from the US. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
