I've been using the 3C509B on my server at home since July '98,
when the Elite-16 in the machine broke. The only problem I had was
a loose BNC connector about a week ago. My LAN at home consists of
a P120 with a 3C509B card connected to a 486DX/33 (used as an X
station via XDM on the server) with an Elite 16 card via $35CDN
($23US) of thinnet through the attic. Both machines have run
2.2.6R, 2.2.7R, 2.2.8R, and 3.1R during this time period.
