You can use the board for other purposes, possibly with different daughterboards. It has nothing to do with 'the ethernet side', which is handled by the Pentium. > T1 actually is 3Mbps accourding to Dennis at ET, T1 speed > going in and out combined... Well, of course, it's bidirectional. But everybody else thinks that T1 is 1.536 Mbps or so. We run N2Ds at 2 Mbps (or 4 Mbps if you want to count it that way) with no trouble at all. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015
