I just got an additional PC and I now want to network them on
the cheap. I see that ISA NE2000 compatible cards are selling
for under $20 and I was wondering if it would be a reasonable
way to go. This will be my first venture into the world of
networks, so...
- is the NE2000 adequately supported?
- are there any drawbacks to this card?
- if the card claims that it supports the Novell drivers,
is it likely that the FreeBSD driver would support it
also?
Thanks.

PS. Am running 2.2.5 on the newer PC, 2.0.5 on the older. The
release notes for 2.0.5 and 2.2.5 say that the NE2000 is a supported
interface.
