I need to purchase additional 10BaseT cards and am leaning towards 
either the Western Digital 16-bit version of the WD-8003 or the 
Racal Interlan NI-6150? 16-bit card. Is anyone successfully using 
these cards with the version 7 packet drivers to do any of the 
following:

	Access Netware 3.1
	Use NCSA Telnet V2.3B10
	Run in an MS-Windows 3.0 environment?

I heard that the older versions of the Packet Driver did not run 
the 16-bit WD in the faster 16-bit mode. Can anyone verify that the 
version 7 packet drivers run the card at full speed.

These cards seem equal to me; are there any pros or cons to consider?

Thanks!
