OT: Replacement for 100BaseFX PCI-X or PCI Express with SC connector needed.
Can anyone suggest to me a good fiber PCI network card with fiber port that actually work at 100Mb as all the new one are 1Gb+ now and looks like I am running out of luck to find a good one. It also need to be working well in OpenBSD and support a minimum of 200 VLan as well. This is to replace a dying Cisco router setup and I can't replace all the equipment pass that router obviously now. Anything good out there that is still available to buy these days? I might have better luck with regular PCI card, but the OpenBSD router is PCI-X or PCI Express. Worst case if no card are available, I can always get different server with regular PCI. I am hoping someone actually still know of one available to buy now and that work well as well. Thanks for your time. Daniel

How about some 100/1000 copper nic with a 100baseTXFX media converter?

I am trying to keep it simple and less added outside device less problem, plus the issue with any in between converter is that you don't see the feedback of the interface it is connecting at, so if your remote interface is going down for what ever reason, your router side still is it up as it is connected to a converter. Not good at all. But I appreciate the suggestion anyway. (;
