Sorry for the cross post.

I need to run a FDDI card in one of my i386 or alpha servers to interface
to an older switch.  From what I can tell, the DEFPA card is the only FDDI
card supported.  Does anyone actively use these cards?  Are they
reliable?  Also, does anyone have a decent source for them?  I could only
find one...

I might be able to use my turbochannel machine for such a purpose, but I
need a 100BTX port on the machine to bridge my switch into the FDDI
port.  So I think I need to run this on a PCI based machine.

Thanks in advance.
