Got to CDW and you'll find a 3Com 10/100/1000T card for $180. The really scary thing is the Addtron card for $120. That's actually a short card so it probably won't have great perfomance, but that's approaching a pricepoint where it could become a manditory feature checkbox on business systems especialy when you consider that 3Com 10/100 nics regularly run around $60. Of course the cheapest switch is still $860 for a 4 port... -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
