It depends on what performance the Rainbow hardware has. Soekris Engineering (http://www.soekris.com/) has a hifn card that might work on the low end. If you need more performance, there are broadcom based cards from Interface Master (http://www.interfacemasters.com/products/index.html) and apparently also from Sun. These cost around $1k. I've orderd some on the Interface Masters cards, but haven't got them yet (I'm not actually sure if purchasing has places the PO yet). -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
