Good point . Such was the problem in the first series of Cisco 7000 units. The company was only able to make them do 21.5MB Having said that there are still very few people who would be able to use this. In-house we have built several of these units using both 3Com and Intel cards. I find that two main factors were the most common reason for some sort of failure.. Heat from the cards and Intel cards were just problems. With the 3Com cards we never seems to have a problem. Also - a 100MB control connection was maintained over a third 3Com card. > More to the point, where can you get a motherboard with 3 64x66 PCI > buses?(!!)
