We're considering an Amiga 2000 for our lab here (it will be used for
molecular modelling and animation, TeX, and generally as a workstation).
A Bridgeboard will unfortunately be required, and also an EtherNet card
of some sort; a small hard drive (about 40 megs) is needed too.  My
question: what's the best (easiest + cheapest) way to put an Amiga on an
EtherNet? Is it better to use an IBM Ethernet card on the BridgeBoard or
is Ameristar's hardware the way to go?  Also, am I better off with an
Amiga 2000HD or a third party controller/HD?

Finally, how reliable is an Amiga on a network?

Thanks for any help you can give me.  I don't subscribe to
