The :intel 10/100 however, seems to drop more packets than :the rl, and you must pay twice the $$$ to find that :out for yourself. I have a couple of these cards. (The machine I'm using has one, even.) I can only get ~3MB/sec NFS transfers over my 100BT full-duplex ethernet. With an Intel card, I get more than twice that. It does work in all the modes it's supposed to, it's cheap, and widely available. If all you're going to do with it is talk to a DSL or cable modem, it works fine. I'd never put one in something needing a really fast network connection. David -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
