I am running 3C503 cards with external TP tranceivers and Cabletron TP hubs. My supplier will upgrade the hubs to 10BaseT anytime I want. I would like to get 10BaseT compliant cards from now on and possibly even replace my existing 3COM cards. I believe Cabletron have a 8 bit PC Ethernet card with on-board unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transceiver (10BaseT). The Part No I have is E1020 but this is probably just my suppliers code. I haven't laid eyes on the card so maybe it is just a rebadge. Is there a packet driver available from Clarkson for this card? Or can I get it from Cabletron? My intention is to run PCNFS with PKTD.SYS (which I am doing now). Does this card support the Cabletron proprietary TP scheme as well as 10BaseT? What about running on shielded TP? My vendor says ok with change of board in hub. thanks Warren Stokes Geelong and District Water Board, Australia was@gdwb.oz.au

No.

Yes. Cabletron is an enthusiastic packet driver supplier.
