I currently have a 2.0.5-R system that is being used as a server/firewall
to the net.  Right now the incoming connection is SLIP but that will change
to 10-T Ethernet.  The NIC that is in there now is a generic NE2000 card.

The question is...what kind of NICs should I be using to peacefully allow 
two of them to coexist and have stable driver support?

Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
