I'll probably get the D-Link DSS8+ I found for for $70 (new).  It is
an 8 port 10/100 switch.  An 8-port 10Mbps hub is only $20 less.  Also
a 5 port 10/100 switch is only $10 less.

Does anybody know anything about the D-Link DE-220PCT NIC?  It is ISA
PnP, but I can't find any information about the chipset or whether PnP
can be disabled.  It is $5 less than LinkSys' ISA card which,
according to documentation, will work with the ne2000 driver.

I'll also check at the local re-seller to see what used stuff is
available.  I called but the salesperson didn't want to list all the
models they have available.  He said some ISA NICs were only ~$8
though.

Thanks,
