+1 to Mikael
We have a number of these. They are pretty much useless. We *do not
recommend them for any purpose whatsoever*. We got them to test, and
they were and are wastes of money.
Again, this is why making sure that the bona fides of those making
recommendations don't begin and end with a google search ...

+1 on that. We like the 3081E, and the 9211-8i for these purposes.
Both work quite well.
Again, ignore these cards, they will absorb your money and your time.
