Does anybody know of a high speed PCI serial board capable
of transmitting at speed in excess of 8mbps sustained? The
board must have good buffering and/or bus mastering capability
to offload the CPU. I have heard the SDL boards peg a fast
Pentium at this speed. The board is to be used in a satellite
video uplink. I have heard of talk about HSSI and fractional T3
board products used with freeBSD. SDL and ET are the only
products that come to mind at sub-HSSI speeds.

Thanks for any help


Sincerely, 
                        Chris Peltier
