 Currently we're using Micom-Interlan NI-5010 cards in stock IBM ATs.
This card seems to be a little geriatic, a little slow and no longer
enjoys tremendous support (we mix and match weird stuff; e.g. we want 
Xwindows and NFS so we need a card where COMPATABLE versions of PC
Xwindows, NFS and telnet [under DOS] exist).

 Some of our newer machines seem to do OK with them (Compaq 386/16)
and some do not (Tandy 4000/16). Perhaps I just need to set some jumper
differently?

 So I'm looking for recommendations, preferably by E-mail. NFS and
Xwindows are vital to our operation but NFS is even more inportant
than Xwindows.

 My most immediate need is card that the Tandy 4000 can be happy
with but more 80386 PC's are comming ("Classic Bus", EISA and 
Microchannel).
