Very interesting. I've got the EtherExpress Pro 10/100 board on a 10mb
network. (The other isn't on an active LAN.) I haven't had *any*
problems with it all. I'm doing NFS across the link, pretty big file
transfers, etc., and haven't noticed any performance problems, and the
machine is rock-solid.

Kinda makes me wonder how well *supported* hardware will work! :-)
