Death of tulip cards? (long term availibility)

[Bill Bogstad]

        I recently needed to acquire a large quantity (100s) of Tulip based
Ethernet cards and was told by one of the vendors that Digital's chipset
division (not sure if Intel or Compaq ended up with it) has EOLed (end of
life-ed) the chip.  Supposedly they will stop producing the chip sometime next
summer.  Does anybody know anything about this?  Is there a replacement
chipset/card family which is as inexpensive and as reliable under Linux?

                                Thanks, 
                                Bill Bogstad
