I went and bought two Linksys EtherFast 10/100 cards at compusa.com for
under $60 which also included shipping/handling.  They were ~$25 each
and the shipping came to less than $10.  I've got NT Workstation and
Linux networked together via a cross-over cable running full-duplex
100-TX, and an ISA 3com Etherlink III (3c509b) hooked up to the cable
modem.  So the linux box has two differing NICs running just fine.
