ISC uses twisted pair ethernet internally at two corporate sites.  We use
our OS version 2.2, some 2.02, HBTCP 1.2, wd-8003 cards with outside
10Base-T tranceivers for the most part, David Systems 10Base-T hubs.
Works great.

Double check that the boards used are supported by our driver, (I think
3C503 is, but not sure), and contact support to see if there are any
special notes about your hardware and setup.
