Hello,

The latest beta version of PCbridge now supports 3COMs Etherlink-16
(3C507) card.  This card is a fast 16bit bus ethernet card designed
for high performance machines.  With it a 12Mhz AT will filter ethernet
packets at 20,000 PPS and forward at 11,000 PPS.  

I have tested the software myself quite a bit, but before I make it
'official' I am hopping to get some other people to test it out too.

Thus I need people who ether have 3c507 cards, or what a high performance
bridge and are thus willing to buy the 3c507s.  

If you fit this category, you can pick up the code and documentation
from accuvax.nwu.edu (129.105.49.1) in pub/pcroute/exp.  The
files you want are pcbridge1.2b.r10.src.tar.Z and pcbridge1.2b.r10.tar.Z.
