Yes, but I'd buy the 3c589 simply because it's a better card. The cost of a hub which handles 10B2 + a 10BT 3c589 (which I've seen for $110 in the US) is probably not much more than a cheap card, anyhow. Mike, is there a place in australia to get the accton cards cheap? Ada ----- End of forwarded message from ada -----
