I'm not to sure about the EISA interface. I know there is some speed improvement, but I'm too sure about the number of supported network cards. Or even finding EISA network cards at this point. I think I might have one or two from a system pull a few years back. I'll dig through my loot tonight and see if I can find anything.

Actually, it's a 486 w/ pci slots, but not enough to do the job - so I'm pretty certain it's EISA. But I didn't think about that until I had already sent the e-mail... I'll look at the 3c515 card. Thanks again for the info.

My home router is using these cards. Two 3c515 running dachstein (although that part is really irrelevant). You will get some speed increase but you will NOT get 100mbit. And even when you get past 10mbit the processor starts taking a serious hit. I was playing around one night moving files around my local network. Anytime I used that card connected a 100mbit machine, it would max out early and the machine would lag. Otherwise, those cards have been awesome. Can't expect too much from the ISA bus, but you'll get everything you need over home broadband. my 2 cents joey -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Bacon Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 12:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leaf-user] Advice on 100Mpbs ISA network cards Looking to upgrade existing router running LRP 2.9.4 with 4 interfaces (3 private, 1 to DSL) from 10Mbps to 100Mbps.
