   TX: Yes, these cards work, but NOT with ethernet  - prove me
   wrong.(please)

Well, gee, I must have run that INN News server without ethernet,
then...

WHICH ethernet card?  I had excellent results with a Dell OmniPlex
Pentium 66MHz, with a PCI/EISA bus, using a built-in NCR 53c810.  I
had an SMC ethernet card plugged into an (E)ISA slot.  It was a
hellishly fast news server.
