Does anyone support the ACER 5220 ethernet adapter? I'm looking specifically for implementations of TCP/IP for PC's. All I know about the card is that it is of the multi-buffered variety, and that it's performance is supposed to be in the league of 3Com's 3c503. We bought them due to best pricing at the time. We have some internal products which rely on XNS to homegrown servers. Versions exist for the ACER 5220, but those programmers don't know anything useful about TCP/IP. I want to be able to get off/out of the non-standard product dilema, and switch some portion of our current 2000+ base of PC's over to TCP/IP based client/server products. The current installed ACER 5220 cards are a barrier. Has anyone experience with these boards and TCP/IP? Thanks, Richard Berke Texas Instruments Plano, TX rjberke@skvax1.csc.ti.com

Ask your ACER salesperson: they re-sell our PC/TCP product (with a Packet Driver so you get co-existence with Netware). The card is a derivative of the National Semiconductor demo board (DP839EB), but I think they changed enough so that you'd need to modify a driver before it would run. James B.
