Remember also that the EtherExpress Pro is being OEMed by Compaq as
the DE600. As such, newer firmware on newer boxes will netboot from
it.
On the UP1000:
>>> show conf
<...>
Bus 00 Slot 11: Intel 8255x Ethernet
eia0.0.0.11.0 00-A0-C9-8A-AC-AA
<...>
>>>show dev
dka0.0.0.10.0 DKA0 SEAGATE ST39140W 1498
dqa0.0.0.16.0 DQA0 Maxtor 9 0651U2 FA520S60
dqb0.0.1.16.0 DQB0 CD-ROM C DU4011 UY0A
dva0.0.0.0.0 DVA0
eia0.0.0.11.0 EIA0 00-A0-C9-8A-AC-AA
ewa0.0.0.9.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-07-B6-45
pka0.7.0.10.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7
If the ability to netboot is important to you & your firmware
supports it, then the Intel is probably a better choice than a 3com.
