I don't want to buy from just any old Yahoo!. I want to buy from someone that I know has delivered product to a member of a group I trust. I looked at the three or so vendors I find deliver and have decent pricing and they didn't have it. I have had success in using search engines to find vendors, not good vendors. I had seen the Adaptec board a few places, but it's expensive and I am sick of Adaptec lately. I saw *way* too much gained by switching from 2940 and 3940UWs to the TekRam NEC-chip boards under FreeBSD and Linux, so I don't trust them to be the best brand as much in SCSI, let alone EtherNet boards. I also really like the DLink/NetGear/LinkSys DEC-chip boards we've used; they have all been reliable, fast, supported, "simple", and very cost-effective. - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
