BootManageŽ PXE Prom for Ethernet Part Number: 90521-xxx* Unit Price/Unit Price/Unit Price/Unit 1 31,00 DM 15,85 EUR 16.75 US $ I Wouldn't call that very expensive... (especially as local store wanted to have 25 SFr. for the 3Com ones as well) OK, it's the same price as a whole Realtek NIC would cost but who cares? If I get such a remote boot thingy up, I'd never again have to do the same updates on different machines. That would be even worth 200$/machine, IMHO. Best regards, Gabriel
