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. I've been using and recommending the 3C509 cards for years. Never had any kind of problem with them, and performance is fine. Be sure to take the card out of "plug and play" mode and hardwire the IRQ/IO settings. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
