Pat Barron <pat@transarc.com> sold me on the IDT adapter. He already has a 25 Mbps adapter. I have 2 IDT 155 Mbps NICSTAR UTP adapters on back order with a delivery date expected to be the first week of August. For those in the market the 155 Mbps IDT adapter are priced around $400-450 US. These evaluation boards use onboard SRAM for session table lookups only, and the PDU reconstruction is done in the host memory using DMA. I am hoping to reuse the PDU buffers as external mbufs to avoid the cost data copy. I have read the "IDT77201 NICSTAR (tm) User Manual" ftp://ftp.idt.com/pub/docs/3488.pdf a few times but have not started to code. This document requires a real Adobe Acrobat viewer, and not the xpdf. I converted the document to postscript if this would help anyone (ftp://joy.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/local/3488.ps). This is 140+ pages and the postscript is not viewable from ghostview :(. --mark.
