So, why should or what are the advantages of going with CP1613, over normal ethernet cards. Regards

The story about running the ISO/RFC1006 protocol stack into the Hardnet cardvs.OS is obsolite @ today PC and NIC performances. Where do you think the protocol is running faster on 486@100Mh (Hardnet) or P4@3Gh (PC)? This is just my opinion. Dec
