Do you want PCI, VLB, EISA, or ISA?

Do you want 10Mbps or 100Mbps?

Do you want 10base2, 10baseT, AUI, 100baseXX?

If you are building a system from scratch, I suspect that your best
option is to go PCI, and get a DEC 21x40 based card.

I personally like the Kingston 10baseT cards because they're like $50.
The SMC EtherPower 10/100's are pretty cool too, but are more like $150.
