We are looking at installing a PC lan for administrative use in our Division. I am leaning towards using David Systems 10BASE-T hubs, and need to specify 10BASE-T Ethernet cards for XT, AT, and AT clones. 1. Any suggestions for cards that have support for: Novell Banyon Vines Packet driver Stanford SU-IP NCSA Telnet 2. Anybody using the Davids Systems 10BASE-T cards? How do they rate with other 8 or 16 bit 10BASE-T cards? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug Neuhauser Div. of Geological and Planetary Sciences doug@seismo.gps.caltech.edu California Institute of Technology 818-356-3993 MS 252-21, Pasadena, CA 91125

1. Any suggestions for cards that have support for:
Novell
Just use the packet driver version.
Banyon Vines
I don't know of any packet driver support for Banyon. Best thing to do is
call or write Banyon and ask them for packet driver support.
Stanford SU-IP
Just use the packet driver version.
NCSA Telnet
Just use the packet driver version.
Packet driver
Virtually everyone has 10Base-T cards now. Some manufacturers have cards
that do all three technologies (AUI, Thinwire, TP). The best thing you can
do is to call the manufacturer and ask them if they know if a packet driver
exists for their card. If you get a yes (and they understood the question,
and you didn't talk to a sales type whose answer is always yes), then you're
home free. Otherwise drop me some email about specific boards, and I'll
give you my best answer.
