There has been a price change in the Ameristar Internet Package from GfxBase.

Ameristar Internet Software package and ethernet board is $795 now.
It was $899 a while back. 
As far as I know it is the only ethernet system that supports tcp/ip,nfs,rlogin,
ftp, tftp, rsh, and X Window System from GfxBase.
Actually there is one other software system that supports X from GfxBase and
that is Syndesis' TSSnet (DECnet) for the Amiga.
