Can anyone suggest a inexpensive NIC? I don't won't to spend $100 for > a 3COM. I've had really good luck with generic RealTeks, 8139. I've picked up quite a few at http://store.yahoo.com/i-market/ for about $8 a pop, they are 10/100baseT cards, works great in FreeBSD (the rl0 driver) & in windoze. I have nearly 10 spares sitting around because you never know when you'll need them, and at $8 a piece, you can't go wrong. You can also pick up cheap hubs & switches & cables there. Sure beats wasting 10x the cost for a 3Com. --Rick C.
