[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Wanted: Comparative review of 16-bit ethercards

grant@RAMSEY.CS.LAURENTIAN.CA ("Grant R. Guenther") (06/07/91)

Has anyone done a comparative review of the various 16-bit ethernet cards
available in the marketplace ?  Has there been a PC-Magazine review perhaps ?

I'd be most interested in comparisons relevant to the software typically
discussed in this group (PCRouter, KA9Q, CUTCP, Packet Drivers, etc.).
Although we have stuck with WD8013's, I've received some competitively
priced quotes for other cards.  What is the general feeling about "generic"
NE-2000 compatibles ?  (I recall some 'bewares' a few months back ...)

All comments are greatly appreciated.
