While reading these messages, I remembered reading about an Australian
ethernet card.. I looked through my Amiga mag back issues and found it:
QuickNet. Here are some infos: (This is about 15 months old though and I have
never seen any of these cards for sale anywhere.)

QN500 - For A500
  - 16bit Ethernet IEEE802.3 Standard - Fujitsu Ethernet Chipset, Optional
    Memory Expansion (with max 2 SIMMs)
  - SIMM Type: Standard 32bit RAM 1 and 4MB SIMMs)
  - Output: Twisted Pair (WD), Cheapnet (BNC)
QN1200 - For A1200
  - Same as above
QN2000 - A2000/3000/4000
  - Same as above, but no RAM option
QN3000+ - A4000
  - Same as above but *32bit* !
  - Also no RAM option

SANA2 drivers for the ports are included. Envoy works. ENLAN doesn't. The Oxxi
Novell-Client software doesn't work, as there is no driver for the QuickNet
yet.

There is also the QuickNet software, which is pretty much the same as Envoy. I
can post more infos if anyone is interested.

Price: DM 698,- for QN2000+QN software+Cable+T-Piece

I don't know very much about ethernet, so I'm not sure if this system is any
good. And, of course, my info is WAY out of date, so who knows if this thing
still exists.
