Donald: Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned in a direct email to Clark, this whole business has set me thinking a bit. It seems that the DEC 21xxx chipset is fairly well supported by most o/ses: Microsoft, FreeBSD, Linux, BeOS etc. and from my point of view, being able to standardise on one type of card in a multi-boot system environment seems pretty sensible. The problem is how do you identify which NICs have the DEC chipset and which are still available here (in the UK). The chip change on the FA310 is a case in point: I didn't know that the Rev. C card uses the DEC chipset, whilst the Rev. D doesn't. Phoning a UK supplier to ask such a question will usually be met with the 'Dunno, mate' response, so typical of the service industry in general. With that in mind, any ideas?
