Well, if You are Only connecting 2 systems, you wont see any real improvement in speed of your small network, since you'll NEVER use that much. 10 Mbit Cards Will Go fast enough for home use. -- At Work we use 10Mbit 10-Base-T Loops on a Dumb-Hub, And Run 80 People on the network right now. We Do experiance Slow down at Critical Times, But We Arent Too Slow to cause Problems. Hope this Helps, Joel yancey Python@cia-g.com On Thu, 13 Mar 1997, Richard Hykel wrote: > I am planning to connect my two systems at home and > wondering what is my best choice in the $40 to $60 > (each) price range? > > I found that Computer discount Warehouse has a > LinkSys LNE100TX card for ~ $60 and wonder whether this > will work under FreeBSD 2.1.7 or 2.2 when released? > > If it is supported, is it at the 10Base-T or 100Base-TX speed? > > I know that I can pick up NE2000 clones for $30-$40 but I > am hoping to be able to use 100Base-T. > Or am I asking for too much? > > Suggestions, criticisms, etc. welcome. > Please copy & post. > > Richard Hykel > hykel@nol.net > hykel@twisto.compaq.com >
