The network card will be ordered seperately unless we choose one that
ZEOS can ship (or whoever we end up ordering from). Currently, I'm still
being told that one with the Lance Ethernet chip will be a good deal, but
nobody has named a brand-name card that carries that (i.e. Lance Ethernet
means nothing to the sales reps wherever I call).
The Lance Ethernet chip is used in most NE2100 clone ethernet cards. I
have a ZEOS Pentium-100 system with the AMD SCSI/Network chip, and it
works fine under Linux using the Lance driver. Other examples of cards
that use the AMD Lance ethernet chip are: Allied Telesis AT1500 and HP
J2405A.
