[Sunhelp] Replacing ethernet card.

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

Paul.  An OLD ss2?  Your not going to get anything faster than 10 I believe
no matter what you do if it has to travel from the sbus through the MB and
back...  Could be wrong.

	While on the topic of adding network devices, is anyone familiar
with adding
	a FDDI card?  I'd like to have 2 nodes, one on each of my SS2's,
mainly for high speed
	file transfer, and possibly expanding to more nodes later.

	Is there a good place to obtain them in the cheap?  I know cables
can be pricey, though.
