Second choice, DEC DE500 and > some clones. Never buy anything from 3Com. you may want to notice though that the data sheets for the DEC21x4x are available on line so if you have problems with some driver you can at least try and fix them yourself. Not sure if the data sheets for the Pro/100B are available for the casual user or without NDA. Secondly the 2114x is used by many many vendors so you can find these cards very cheap.
