The Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 B is supposed to be nice. I just got one, though I haven't set it up yet. It does 10baseT or 100baseT (autosensing). It doesn't do coaxial though, UTP only. This issue was *just* discussed recently -- today, in fact, I think.

You do have to have a boot disk, but it can be your hard drive. :-) What's the problem? > I was also wondering if it supports all Adaptec and > Buslogid Ultra Wide SCSI cards. This is all documented on the web page! See the URL I quoted above. > Thanx! Mike Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
