And without major, significant network load. Well, maybe the NE2k drivers
are stable in 1.3.x, but since all my machines are mission-critical (we
lose machines, 4000+ paying customers don't get service) I cannot afford
to run 1.3.x. Actually, the NE2k's were OK on servers of moderate network
traffic, but on my news server and web server, where the network load is
very heavy, the machines crashed almost daily with the NE2000's.
We still have a couple workstations and one very light server (httpd and
very little pop3) with an NE2000. But as soon as I pop the hood to upgrade
anything in that machine, it gets an NE2000.
