Beware: the BocaLan PCI cards have a design flaw which can cause big
problems as well. The Allied Telesyn PCI card uses the same chip but is
unaffected. I'd also _highly_ recommend the DEC PCI cards, and also
the Kingston PCI cards. The Kingston cards use the DEC ethernet chip,
work with the DE4X5 driver, and cost $60-$70. Not bad for 1MB/sec
transfers.
