I've got the EtherExpress Pro 10/100 board on a 10mb network. (The other isn't on an active LAN.) I haven't had *any* problems with it all. I'm doing NFS across the link, pretty big file transfers, etc., and haven't noticed any performance problems, and the machine is rock-solid. Kinda makes me wonder how well *supported* hardware will work! :-) -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com Megasoft, Inc Chief Scientist http://www.research.megasoft.com/people/cmcurtin/ I speak only for myself.
