I have experience with both the Apple EtherTalk board and with the Kinetics
EtherPort II board.  I have found both to be quite suitable for Ethernet
Communications (although my particular EtherTalk board is not feeling well
right now) on the AppleTalk and TCP/IP protocol levels. (TCP/IP using NCSA
Telnet will get about 80KB, yes I mean Kilo Bytes, to the internal 40MB disk
on the II, and about 29-35KB when Multi-Finder is active).

EtherTalk cards should be available now from dealers, get in touch with
Kinetics about the availabilty of their board.
