We are in the process of selecting an ethernet card for a 68020-based 
VME target system. We plan to develop using either VxWorks or Ready Systems'
VRTX32/Hyperlink tool set. 

For ethernet cards, we are considering the CMC ENP-10L and the Excelan
EXOS 202. The problem is that while the CMC card is quite a bit cheaper,
Ready Systems supports only the EXOS 202. I'd like to find out if anyone
out there has used a different ethernet card with the Ready Systems development
package. The Ready technical rep claims that it shouldn't be too hard
to convert their board support package to work with other ethernet cards,
but I don't want to take any chances.

Also, any other recommendations regarding VME ethernet cards would be
appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Georg.
