Scott, almost all server class NICs are gigabit now.  If it's a 10/100/1000
then why would that be a problem?  We are looking at replacing our current
Intel based 10/100 NIC with a 3COM NIC.  All of 3COM's server NICs are now
gigabit though.  Should I be concerned about this?

Thanks,
Dermot

If you use a decent brand name (Intel, 3Com, etc.) that does not say
anything about "gigabit", "1000", etc., you should be fine.

The only problems I've heard of (and I've heard a lot of 'em!) are with
junky cards (some junky cards work very well, but many do not) or the
gigabit cards.  All the problems seem to have roots in the cards themselves
(or the drivers), not IMail.
