Hi

I'm setting up a small LAN to provide internet access through a Linux gateway 
box...I need to buy some network cards...

can anyone recommend a good 16 bit card  for me (one that WILL work with 
Linux, DOS/Windows and maybe OS2) ?

Someone has already recommended the ACTON MPX165x series card...
Does anyone have a comment for or against this choice ?

Thanks for any help with this
I'd appreciate email replies (you know how it is)
