yeah, but that's about what new ethernet cards cost at a store... i just
got a whole bunch of 10/100 pci cards (i think they were linksys...
realtek chipset) for about $8 apiece off some random company i found on
pricewatch and they're easier to configure in linux/win2k than many 3com
cards because the drivers are included with the OS. if $20 is the price
he's after, he can spend the money he's saving on overnight shipping -
or more cards.
