We had rather better luck with Synoptics 10BaseT (1000 system - couldn't
sprint for the fancier 3000 with net management).  Nearly all our
existing lines worked out OK.  Have tested two cards - (Whomever)'s
EtherPort II with Synoptics 508 Transceiver works fine (Kinetics to Excelan
to Novell to ... is it Dayna now?).  We've just bought the Dayna cards
with 10BaseT option, and the cards seem fine, the drivers don't -
hang when accessing LANWorks (Whoops - Pathworks).  But the Excelan
drivers work with the Dayna cards.
