Check out http://www.cogent.com Take a look at their EM964 (4 port DEC 21040 Based 10Mbps) and their EM440TX (10/100Mbps). I know the EM964 works fine (Just add DE0-DE3 to your kernel and recompile). But I'm not sure if the EM440TX works at all, never tried it.... But, I picked up a EM964 from CDW for $470 delivered... Not too bad for a 4 port ethernet card..... Hope this helps... -- Steve Kaczkowski Internet Connect, Inc. Chief Network Engineer (414)476-ICON steve@inc.net FAX(414)476-2403 http://www.inc.net info@inc.net
