Some manufacturers are Digi > (http://www.dgii.com) and Cyclades (http://www.cyclades.com) According to what I found there, the fastest from Digi is a dumb board with a bunch of 230.4 kb/s ports (sustained half-duplex rating). Cyclades boasts an intelligent board at 460.8 kb/s full duplex on all 8 ports simultaneously, at around $700 ($400 on special limited dealer/ISP introductory offer). Do we have a driver for this beast yet, or is one in the works somewhere behind the scenes? It's the Cyclades 8Zo card, looks quite impressive. -- Adam David
