Hi Johan, I think I am good at this point... SysKonnect is sending some cards out to Brad (I believe they said) and if those get tested soon enough we are going to buy them - otherwise I am going the Intel pro 1000/MT route. There is a lot of pressure to order the box, so thats the plan as it stands now.
Thanks to everyone for the help! On Wed, 27 Jul 2005 14:28:25 +0200 Johan P.
