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
