Zottola" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: SGI Linux Group Subject: 100Mb Ethernet for Indigo2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk This is slightly off-topic, so I apologize in advance. As we are porting LINUX to the Indigo2 to build a Beowulf cluster - we would like to use 100Mb ethernet cards instead of the standard 10Mb. In contacting SGI about this, we were pointed to Qualix - a company which manufactures these cards. But the price for this is rather steep - between $700 - $800 per card! Does anyone on this list know where there might be a cheaper source for these cards? I can live with 10Mb if I have to, but it sure would be nice to have that 100Mb communication! Again, my apologies if this is too off-topic for this group. -- ********* Mark A.
