[-- Attachment #1 --] Quick question (I hope): We are building a high-traffic MP3 site that will, along with Web and FTP services, run the SHOUTcast audio multicast server for FreeBSD. We have had good results in Linux, NetWare, NT, et al with 3Com 10/100 cards, so at this point we intend to use them in the new server. Being something of a newbie to the FreeBSD world, I have 2 questions: 1) Is the 3Com 3C905B-TX a solid choice for a high-traffic FreeBSD server, or should I use something else like the Intel Pro 10/100? 2) When configuring the cards using 3C90XCFG, should I leave them in plug-n-pray mode or does it make any difference? The tests we've run so far work either way, but they've not been under load as yet. Thanks for all your help.
