- That fellow did tell you a lie, as always when PC/Mac people tell you
- something about the Amiga's capabilities. Plain ignorance.

- There is *one* (hacked) _pcmcia_ 10BaseT-card to choose from. ;-P
- [ I-Card from Interworks/California; $300 is last price I know of]
-
- Have a look at http://www.his.se/ida/~a95hanne and choose the
- "Worldwide..." link (can't remember the direct name right now).
- There you will find a link to "Amiga net-hardware choices" (or something
- similar).
-
- I myself will be setting up a '386/SX33 with an Ether-card and serial
- 115.2Kbps linked to my Amiga, shortly.
