I have an Artisoft Noderunner S/I (NE2000 clone, the one that comes with
lantastic), and I've been able to continue to run apps while
transferring data, and even play video games across the network without
noticeable timing problems. This may be true of some cheap clones, but
I doubt if it's a special feature of my card that I can do this.
