which cards do you use ? I used to be quite happy with my Accton 1652's (ISA, thin coax) but one of them broke down, and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. Tried one SN2000, one RL2000, neither works. I get the impression that the automatic media detection on these cards fails. Should I (1) get a hub and switch to UTP (2) get PCI versions (3) get some other NE2000 clone, or (4) use a different card alltogether ?? I need something wellknown, because it must be supported by DOS/WIN, WIN NT, WIN95, OS/2 on the Pentium and by WIN NT on the Alpha/AXP. And, most important, by Linux on both architectures.
Groeten, Geerten.
