I have spent quite some time tracking down a resonably priced Mac SE ethernet
card.  Kinetic's Etherport SE is a good choice but lists at $1495 Cdn from
the sources I've tried.  The IPT-1000 by Information Presentation Technologies
was much better priced at $471 Cdn, but after waiting for a working card for
almost 10 months we cancelled the order and went with Dove's FastNet SE at
$505 Cdn.  The perfomance isn't anywhere near a typical PC ethernet card, but
is better than straight localtalk.  I suspect to see some new cards at the
Boston MacWorld.
