These are on my qualified products list and in stock... not the KNE-40T,
but the KNE-40BT which is both 10BaseT and 10Base2 (BNC for those not
educated in the 10Base numbers):

XX. TMG KIN17651 Kingston KNE40BT/6 PCI Enet Card, 10BT/10B2 DC21041   $  56.00

These are OEM bulk cards, no drivers...

> Soon to try the Kingston 100baseT units which are about $80 wholesale.

Don't bother, already tried them, they don't like our driver :-(.

Actually very cheap compared to the SMC board...

I have a D-Link card that works great:
XX. TMG DLD16217 DFE-500TX DFE 10/100MB DEC 21140 ethernet             $  83.00
