I have a question re: the NE2000 NICs. Warren, you state that 
throughput will be very low on these cards. Is that relative to the 
PCI cards?  I wonder, because, if you are using these NICs on an 
internet router, won't they provide plenty of throughput relative to 
the bandwidth coming through the modem. These are 10 Mbs 
cards, right? I ask because I am using one 3Com509B and one 
NE2000 card on the Freesco router we use.  

TIA,
WB
