Well just to give a hint. We are using a Tulip card (DEC 21140) and it has
never given me any problems. I running 2.2.7 with the 0.91 driver of the tulip
card. Now this machine is our router to about 60 people on the one network and
about 50 on the other, and also to a network for hosting, and the internet.
The amount of trafic is not that big, but it works!
