- Jolyon,
-
- Not all ethernet cards are equal. I would like to see people here compare
- apples with apples. The sub US$100 ethernet cards for the peasea are crap.
- They have limited on board intelligence and only work in a single tasking
- environment and poorly at that. Try posting to comp.dcom.lans or ethernet
- and quote all the capabilities of the Amiga ethernet cards. I don't have
- the specs myself as I'm not ethernetted :( but I'd like to see a fair
- comparison with the better quality ethernet solutions out there....
-
- Cheers,
