I would point out that although the Emulex card is reported to work well in
8Mhz machines it DOES NOT work at 10Mhz and above. Emulex is reportedly working
on this problem but if you have a faster machine I would stay away from Emulex.
I have a client using Computone on a 16Mhz 386 box and it works well, there is
also a less expensive (read non-intelligent) 4 port card available from AST.
