card out there, with regard to price and software support?  or any
other technical issues which are important to you.

feel free to post or email responses -- i won't post your emailed
responses, but i'd be interested in discussing them via email...

From where I sit, any Ethernet card without a packet driver is worthless.
I have had a number of people write to me asking for a particular packet
driver, saying that if they could not get one, their Ethernet cards would
be junked.

ObDisclaimer: I am responsible for the existance of the Clarkson collection
of packet drivers.
