Where?  Every Sbus Ethernet card I see on eBay gets jacked up towards 
the end.  I would personally love to get one of the quad cards, but set 
my sights on just a plan 10baseT or 10/100baseT card.

I got an IPX with Sbus CG-6 (I believe) free from someone at my Linux 
Users Group (TriLUG) and upped the ram from 32MB to 48MB cheap.  I am 
currently using it for DNS & Courier IMAP courtesy of OpenBSD.  
Unfortunately, SpamAssassin brought it to it's knees.  Couldn't fork 
anything and it had one panic, which I assume was some bug combined with 
deadly low resources.  So right now I am dealing with Spam manually :)  
I enjoyed the little guy so much I picked up another transceiver and 
another IPX with 64MB/420MB HD for about $40 combined shipped.  This one 
had an extra surprise which is an original SunPC card which I have no 
idea what I would use it for...  Would love to use this one as a 
firewall router with  OpenBSD or NetBSD but can't find a decently price 
nic.  Also, both will be running via serial console.  I am still looking 
for the sbus card, a 411 CD, a 411 HD case (I have 6 1GB SCSIs sitting 
around and more small drives).

Thanks,
Bill
