If we installed an Ethernet card or USB adapter in your computer, then you keep the card even if you cancel the service. The PCI card is recommended over the ISA card due to its faster bus speed. If all of your PCI slots are full or your computer does not have a PCI slot available, then you will need an ISA card. If a USB port is available, a USB adapter could be installed and will give the same performance with our service as the other options.

What kind of ethernet card do I need?

CNS: Frequently Asked Questions about LIPS
You'll need a network interface card that supports 10 Mbps (10 million bits per second) networks. Many cards are "10/100" which means that they will support both 10 and 100 Mbps networks. Some laptops (most newer Macintoshes, for example) may already come with a built-in ethernet adapter. The laptop network cards are usually called 'PCMCIA' cards, and there are various ones on the market.

What kind of Ethernet card should I have for ResNet?

ResNet Frequently Asked Questions
Most of the ResNet network currently supports Ethernet at 10 Mbps speeds using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring, also known as 10BASE-T. Most Ethernet cards now support at least 100 Mbps Ethernet as well 10 Mbps. This is generally referred to as 10/100 BASE-T. 100 Mbps Ethernet service is available on ResNet in a limited number of residence halls (Court, Mews, and Low Rise #8).

Will a PCI card ADSL device work better or worse than a USB ADSL device, or an Ethernet one?

Internode - Broadband ADSL - FAQ - Getting Connected to Inte...
For overall compatibility with your computer, regardless of its operating system, and for the best long term chance of compatibility remaining if you replace your computer, we strongly recommend the use of Ethernet based ADSL devices. All ADSL hardware sold by Internode are Ethernet based. Almost all computers have an Ethernet port, or can have an Ethernet port added for a very small cost. In almost all situations, the only reason to use a non-Ethernet ADSL device is hardware cost.

My computer already has an ethernet card. Do I need to purchase one from Sentex?

Residential DSL Internet Access SignUp - Sentex Data Communi...
Most 10/100 ethernet cards will function adequately with the Sentex High-speed service. If you are using your own ethernet card you must ensure that the card is installed and operational prior to installing the ADSL service. If you have chosen the Full Install the technician will attempt to configure your existing ethernet card with the correct settings and perform end-to-end connectivity tests. Sentex will only assume responsibility for ethernet cards purchased from Sentex.

I've seen ISA and PCI boards that seem to take care of the Y2K issue. Do they work?

Dallas Semiconductor Clock/CMOS RAM FAQ
It depends on the board. You should also be aware that, when pressed on this issue, the board manufacturers will tell you that there is always a latency issue when using this type of retrofit solution. These devices implant the century information in the system in place of the BIOS and the associated hardware clock information. Application programs that make all their calls to the operating system clock (or DOS clock) won't have any problems.

Is there a particular type of Gigabit Ethernet card I should purchase?

ResNet Frequently Asked Questions
We would recommend purchasing a 10/100/1000 Ethernet card -- one which will also support slower speed networking, besides just Gigabit Ethernet. Currently, Gigabit service is available only in the new West Campus residence halls. If you move to another residence hall or move off campus and wish to use a traditional cable modem or DSL service, you will want to make sure that your Ethernet card will support slower network speeds.

Which is better - USB, PCI or Ethernet modems?

SnowyNet - ADSL BROADBAND FAQ
Definitely Ethernet in my opinion. USB & PCI ADSL modems use system resources and often have driver issues or can be just plain painful to use & configure and are fairly dreary indeed if you plan on sharing the Internet connection between 2 or more PCs or to make Wireless.

Why do I need a PCI-to-PCI-Bridge?

Pericom - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - By Product Fam...
There are many uses for this chip including: 1) To alleviate the excessive loading on the motherboard. This chip can be used on a server board, or a main board in a system that needs many I/O cards connected to it; these I/O cards can be Ethernet, Fiberchannel, SCSI, or any other PCI I/O cards. PCI specification rev 2.2 allows you to have as many as 4 slots @ 33 MHz slots and two 66 MHz slots. If your system requires more then 4 slots, then you need to add a PCI-to-PCI Bridge.

Why does my 3Com® PCI network card not work with my Micron computer?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X, 4.X and 5.X
Certain Micron motherboards have a non-conforming PCI BIOS implementation that does not configure PCI devices at the addresses reported. This causes grief when FreeBSD boots. More information on this problem is available at URL: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html#micron Yes. SMP is not enabled in the GENERIC kernel, so you must recompile your kernel to enable SMP. Take a look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT to learn what options to put in your kernel config file.

Q] Do I really need a VGA PCI card to overclock?

Gigabyte DS3 FAQ - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
A] It depends what is making your system crappy. Sometimes it???s a VGA, sometimes it???s a mem, sometimes these are bios settings. My personal search was: BIOS, VGA, MEM, ordered like that, because changing settings in bios, costs nothing, buying VGA was like 10zl (~3$). Luckily I didn???t have to replace ram.

If I connect my Core card to Ethernet, can I FTP to the PBX to do administration?

Black Box Resale Services: Frequently Asked Questions
No. There is no FTP daemon running in the PBX. Nortel wants you to buy Meridian Administration Terminal or its successor, Optivity Telephony Manager, for this. If you connect the PBX to your Ethernet LAN, be sure to block broadcast messages from reaching the PBX by using a router. A router seems to be the only acceptable way to block those nasty broadcast messages that can take your PBX completely out of service. It sounds as if you are receiving traffic reports through your modem connection.

How do I set up RCF to use my one ethernet card for both public and private traffic?

RCF Frequently Asked Questions
You can't. Private traffic is just what it says it is: private. It must not be allowed on the public Internet, since there's no way a packet sent to a private IP will ever arrive. It just pollutes the net. You should buy yourself a second ethernet card.

What are the pitfalls of different busses: PCI/ISA/EISA?

Solaris on Intel - x86 FAQ
Read the merits of running Solaris x86. But the worst sin is running UNIX on an ISA bus with disk controllers such as the Adaptec 1542 series. They're cheap but if you have more that 16 MB of memory in your system you shouldn't be running an ISA disk controller. Typically you're going to see better performance from the PCI or EISA bus. PCI is the biggest winner. VLB and MCA are supported, but largely obsolete.

Q9. What is ISA slot & PCI slot for I-MUX ?

digitech
ANS9. The I-MUX card is to be plugged in the spare slot of PC. The older PCs have ISA standard slot while the new PCs like P3, P4 has PCI standard slot. I-MUX is available for both the slots. ANS10. Technically 3 I-MUX cards can be plugged in hence 24 CNCs can be interfaced with 1 PC but practically it is better to connect 16 machines to 1 PC.
