Would people really be interested in a card that cost $295 direct with little tech support, other than if it's broke send it back and get it replaced? Anyone know just what the lowest price you can find for a Mac Ethernet card is these days? What do you University folk pay for cards in quantity? Thanks ahead of time for your answers. Email them if you don't want to just post it. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 46950 Community Plaza Suite 101-132 Sterling, VA 22170 Phone: 703.450.7117
