I've seen Mike's page, and I finally got a BSDI/Telenet rep to quote out a
system...  I have a choice between an Adaptec 3200 (BSDI's recommendation)
or a Mylex 352.

On paper, the Mylex looks better.  I also can't quite tell from Mike's
page or Adaptec's site where the the driver came from for this card.
Adaptec claims FreeBSD support, but don't really mention to what extent.

I believe the Adaptec has a management interface, which is essential in my
case as the box is at a remote location (If a drive fails in the middle of
a forest...).  I don't believe there is a management app for that
particular Mylex card.

If anyone can clarify any of these points, it would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Charles
