I'm using Digiboard PC/8e's here with no problems.
I haven't really beat on throughput issues and what not,
but from a functional standpoint, they work fine.

I have had problems getting my cyclades to work, but
that was a couple months back, maybe a year, and I haven't
tried recently.

As soon as I get my test box back, I'm going to get
the stallion cards to work.  Stallion is really cooperative
and eager to help to get their cards working.

I've got two PCI cards I'd really love to see work,
but right now I've got too many other irons in the
fire :(.

we've got a linux box with a cyclades that we're using for dialin/dialout
that works fine too, but I'm partial to FBSD.
