National made a chip set, and Intel sold a ISA card with a 10/100
Mbps, but the Linux Ethernet driver guru never got the specs out of
anyone, and when I tried a couple of months ago, Intel told me to talk 
to National, and National told me to talk to my local distributers,
and the two distributers' national document centers didn't have it.  I 
guess National and Intel are both ashamed to have been involved in a
card that can use 100% of the bandwidth of the ISA bus.
