The driver(s) and the 3Com-3c509 do not perform well under stress at all. Trust me, I just put a 12 gig file server up and forgot to pull out the 3c509 card we use as a spare/test card. We use all PCI SMC cards and the DE0 interface for all our heavy duty machines and have never had a problem directly related to that interface/card. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com President, CalWeb Internet Services Inc.
