We are about to install an ethernet and have been looking at
the Western Digital EtherCard PLUS [WDLAN-EPR (F001)] 
[Model No. WD8003E].  Our net will composed of thinwire
connecting 10 - 40 PCs to a Sequent Symmetry host.  In most cases
we will use the onboard xcvr and T-connector.  We will be
running PC-NFS software on the PCs.

Our choice is heavily influenced by price, we can get the WD
boards for ~$215.

NOW:  What are we missing here?  Is there anything we should know
about the WD board, the combination of board & PC-NFS, our net
design,  or ??

Replies by Email appreciated.   I will summarize and forward the
replies to interested parties.

Thanks....
