- The Ariadne is good, but so are the others: 2065 (if you can find one),
- Hydra, CEI's 4066, and others. Due to certain difficulties both I and
- others have had trying to use the ASDG LanRover EB920 board with AmigaOS
- 3.1, I'd stay away from it. For that matter, it's possible that any or
- all of these boards may be unreliable in your expansion box, so it would
- be best to try before you buy.

- Envoy is available from IAM, and has been updated to rev 2.0. Remember
- that Envoy only networks Amigas to Amigas; AmiTCP (or the other TCP
- software whose name I can't remember) will be needed to speak to an
- existing IP network.
