The subject says it all.  I currently use a 3C503 card with BNC
connector and I need to convert to twisted pair.  Rather than
purchasing the 3C503TP I would like to consider a 3C509TP but have
no idea if there is any support for this newer card which is
supposed to be a deal faster and is somewhat cheaper.

I have currently "borrowed" a LANNET 10BASE-T transceiver which is
allowing me to connect twisted pair to the AUI port.  I have to
return this device RSN and need some advice on whether or not I
might be able to use a 3C509TP in the near future.

I would very much appreciate any info you care to give.  Either post
or e-mail, whichever you prefer.

Thanks and regards,
