Hi there,

	I manage a lab full of HP Vectra ES/12's at UC Berkeley and would
like some info on ethernet cards for them.  We are currently using the standard thick ethernet lines in a room full of IBM-AT's with Ungerman-Bass boards
(running Novell Netware 286).  We tried dropping one of these UB boards into
an ES/12 but kept getting a message stating that the board could not be
initialized; any idea what's going on here?  Anyway, the number of ES/12's we
have out number the number of UB boards in our possesion and we need to get
more.  What are your recommendations for ethernet cards?  Anyone elso on campus
using ES/12's this way?  We will be running Netware 286 most of the time but
will be using TCP/IP on occasion.  Any info and leads will be greatly
appreciated.
