I didn't see Bill's post about 3Com NIC's, but a word of caution: Stay away
from the 3C905's. They are a PITA, and unlike all of the other 3C cards,
you can't boot off of a floppy and assign the IRQ and I/O addresses. So, if
you have 2 NIC's that both want IRQ 11 and I/O address 0xdc800, then you
have a conflict, and it's a pain to fix it!
C-Ya,
Kenny
