TX: Yes, these cards work, but NOT with ethernet - prove me
wrong.(please)
Well, gee, I must have run that INN News server without ethernet,
then...
WHICH ethernet card? I had excellent results with a Dell OmniPlex
Pentium 66MHz, with a PCI/EISA bus, using a built-in NCR 53c810. I
had an SMC ethernet card plugged into an (E)ISA slot. It was a
hellishly fast news server.
