I'm not sure about the Proliant, but the Prosignia 500's Intergrated
32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controller is based on the NCR-810 chipset, and BSDI
says they support that. Their tech support has been trying to help me get
this going. Though it's been a low priority for me and so I haven't gotten
it running yet.
As for the NetFlex-2, I haven't even looked at that I just went with
3COM.
Also as a side note, a friend was playing with Linux and got that to
work on the Compaq, so I would guess that BSDI couldn't be too far behind.
Hope this can be of some help.
