We are about to buy approx. 50 ethernet adapters for AT bus machines. We will be running tcp/ip for the pc (PC/TCP ?) . Some under SCO Unix/Xenix. They are priced similarly and seem to work equally well. We are curious which is the more popular board with the net@large. Can anyone comment about their experiences with these boards. ? Also, Which TCP/IP package do you like for the PC ? Why ? Thanks.

The 3c503 (and 3c523 (microchannel)) have most of the configuration software settable, so you usually don't need to fool with jumpers (yeah!). It also comes with both thick and thin connectors. > Also, Which TCP/IP package do you like for the PC ? Why ? Well, I really, really like ours. However, it is availble only to educational institutions. If you're not from an educational institution, then I'd suggest talking to FTP Inc. > Rob Freyder Internet rob@lafayet.UUCP Joe Herman U. of Md. DISCLAIMER: I have no association with 3COM. I have a strong association with the MD-DOS/IP package (the 'ours' above).
