I have an X-Surf in my trusty old 3000. Works fine, except for one thing: I
wanted to make the 3000 the router, so I could offload the PPP/serial
handling from the 1200 where I do more work. But that didn't work very
well: the transfer speeds were very slow, much slower than on the 1200,
while the 3000 could normally handle 115200 bps with the original
serial.device over the built-in serial port. So I suspect the X-Surf
SANA II driver locks up the CPU too long or does something else that
interferes with the serial port. I also have a perfectly good A2232 lying
around but that one disagrees with the CyberVision64/3D...
The "manual" (it's just one page) mentions a web site, but that site
doesn't seem to know about the X-Surf (at least in december, when I got
mine).
But I didn't want to spend too much on my 3000, so I don't mind too much.
Apart from the above the card does what it's supposed to do: the 3000 can
talk to my other Amiga and also the PC and the Cisco router I got last
month.
One last thing:
When I perform a traceroute I get 8 ms for the first hop, that's not all
that good. (I get 5 ms on the 1200/50MHz060/ICard and less than 2 on PC's.)
