Hi -

I was wondering if anyone out there could give a recommendation
on a good, FAST, reliable ethernet card that I could get up
and running quickly on my 486/66?  I took a quick skim through
the faq, and saw that there were quite a few supported, but 
would like to get some first hand experiences from the net...

I was considering the 3COM 3C503 16 bit...  But was wondering,
how does it compare to the 509?  ( I noticed that lots of people
in the newsgroup had trouble with that one...)

Thanks for any info!
