I'm currently using two 'LANcard' Ethernet Adapter (NE200 compatibles) ...
which cost me abt. 80.- DM/each - for my needs, they are fast enough; I dont'
really need those fancy WD80x3-cards :-)
Networking with my other computer is working like a charm ... setup was easy,
connections are stable and pretty fast.
Seems like it's enough, to choose 100%-compatibles ... or ones, that are tested
within TCP/IP-networks.
Using Donald Beckers eth-driver, it is working now since 0.99pl4 (now pl12) w/o
any problems (thank you for this btw!)
Just ask your dealer, if you could try them and bring'em back in case they
won't work - should be no problem ?
By(t)e, Oli.
