I have BSDI 2.0 with patches, and my EISA 3Com 3C579 card is starting to 
flake out, and has to be replaced.

I have an EISA/PCI motherboard.

I'd rather not pay for another EISA ethernet card, if I can get a PCI one 
that works with version 2.0 of the OS.  We are an ISP in Denver, 
Colorado, and this system requires high performance.

Has anyone got any suggestions for alternatives?

TIA!
