How are the SMC cards price wise? At work they bought a box (25 I think) so they got a good discount. I plugged a 3C509 today into a FreeBSD box, turned plug and play, and the card has been working ok (just installed it today though). On a 56K line I am getting 4K to 5K average. I think that for such network bandwith almost any card should be fine. :)
