Just a quick question for you folks out there.  Would people really be interested
in a card that cost $295 direct with little tech support, other than if it's
broke send it back and get it replaced?

Anyone know just what the lowest price you can find for a Mac Ethernet card
is these days?  What do you University folk pay for cards in quantity?

Thanks ahead of time for your answers.  Email them if you don't want to just
post it.
