On e-bay there are NC3134 and NC3131 Compaq dual nics.
Can anyone tell me if one model is better than the other?

It should be noted that these Dual-Port Intel cards can also be obtained
(obscenely cheap, compared with their original list-price <G>) in the
form of the Compaq NC Dual cards.
The original ftp.cdrom.com FreeBSD ftp-server reportedly ran years with
one of these Intel cards almost constantly pumping 100 MBit/s.
There's no excuse for using anything from the
vr/rl/sis/whatever-departement for production, when you can get the
fxp-cards by the dozen on ebay for nearly nothing. Heck, nowadays, even
the 32bit em-cards cost less than my very first fxp (which I still have
in use somewhere, from 1996)
