My own experiences are somewhat limited, but I had settled on VIA in the Neoware 140 model. However because of the way the motherboard is architected there seem to be significant problems getting the PCI slot to use a different IRQ to the on board NIC. This produced horrible quality when using a TDM400 card. I have used Wyse Winterm boxes (VIA) with much more success, but in order to save space and power I am now looking to net5501.
