[Sunhelp] Replacing ethernet card.

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

I figured he was thinking a firewall or router setup.  I have a sparc 20 set
up as a router but only at 100 not 1,000.  We have a switch with a spare
FDDI port but I figured it wasn't worth the extra cash.....

	The only way I could see it making any sense to use FDDI would be if
you had
	to span an incredibly long distance.

	But wouldn't it just be easier to use a crossover cable and connect
the two
	directly?
