Staben) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Best Networking Card? Date: Thu, 08 Jun 1995 20:08:41 GMT Organization: Kresge Hearing Institute Lines: 23 Message-ID: <3r7lbu$qku@lastactionhero.rs.itd.umich.edu> Reply-To: mstaben@umich.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: 141.214.14.16 X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 I plan on purchasing, one time only (I hope), a networking card. I'm interested in one that will be compatible with *everything* under the sun. If it is recommended I buy a 100-baseT card, I'll be happy to do so -- if it's not too much more. The real information I'm looking for is the brand, type of interface, etc. My machine can support a VLB card (if they even make such beasts!). Requirements: ISA / VLB Ethernet (802.3) RJ45 and BNC (RJ45 essential, BNC would be nice) Compatibility with FreeBSD, OS/2, SVO Unix, etc. (maturity impt.) Thanks, Matt
