I'm sur ethey aren't the best, but at 10 Mbps I consistently get 1 Meg/sec FTP rates between them, something that I didn't usually get with my old DEC 10 Mbps card. I'm sure at 100 Mbps they wouldn't fare quite as well as the Intel cards, but I'll probably have migrated them do some Windoze machines by the time I get a 100 Mbps hub. :) Later...... <Doug> Mr. :) Happy is really cute in this font. :)
