Thanks for your input, and I'll take the opportunity to tap some more
knowledge, if you don't mind.
The cards I want to start with were generic 10Mb/s (like GVC or something like
that). My dealer was suggesting to go with some 3com dual ports with 100Mb/s
and 10Mb/s. I couldn't answer because I have no idea of what the data flow is
on a network while rendering.
The other option was 3Com 10Mb/s cards. Of course everything has got it's
price but I don't know what need really. Any insights are welcome.
<<BTW, don't use ethernet, use 10-BT>>
Is that a brand name?
<<I highly recommend an NT server. It'll handle the files and servering _much_
better than a WFW server>>
I will have 3 pentium 100 on the network and a 486-80 as a server, at least
until MAX comes out. Then I'll switch to NT. Do you think WFW will hold 'till
then?
