 That fellow did tell you a lie, as always when PC/Mac people tell you
something about the Amiga's capabilities. Plain ignorance.

 There is *one* (hacked) _pcmcia_ 10BaseT-card to choose from. ;-P
 [ I-Card from Interworks/California; $300 is last price I know of]

 Have a look at  http://www.his.se/ida/~a95hanne  and choose the
"Worldwide..." link (can't remember the direct name right now).
 There you will find a link to "Amiga net-hardware choices" (or something
similar).

 I myself will be setting up a '386/SX33 with an Ether-card and serial
115.2Kbps linked to my Amiga, shortly.

 A 386DX Fatherboard did have SX
 with my Motherboard. What will come of that? 8-}
