	The AT-1700 series cards are ISA cards, supported by fe driver.
	I have one on this box, works quite nicely. 

	Allied Telesyn AT-2560TX is a 10/100Mbit PCI adapter, it works
	with fxp driver but there are some mysterious problems with
	high amount of input errors. I don't remember if there's also
	a fiber version of that PCI card, but I suppose that their
	web pages (at http://www.alliedtelesyn.com/) would tell that to
	you.
