Ok, our local supplier suddenly stopped listing the KTX ethernet cards
that we've been using, right before I needed one "tomorrow".
(They aren't expecting more stock 'till the new year.  Unbelievable.)

After some frantic chasing, I'm happy to say that we located an
alternative supplier, cheaper, and with a distributor open later than
5pm 8)

The new "this card works" entry is the Alloy 9400P3; it's a PCI card 
featuring the Digital DC21040-AA part (wow, old!) and it's a full 
3-way combo (TP/BNC/AUI).

Even more scary, at one-off it's AUD$69.00 ex-tax.  (For Australian
readers, look up Qsoft in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne.  We ordered
after 5:30 local time and the cards were on my desk when I got in the
next morning.  Alloy also have a 1-800 number here that were able to
confirm before I ordered that the card was indeed Tulip-based.)
