Broadband -Overkill?

See my [edit] above.

There is a lot of network cards actually for Zorro. Not only X-surf. But thats the newest.

There is also:
Ariadne
Ariadne_II
X-Surf
Norway expansion module for HighwayUSB
Hydra/AmigaNet

The downside here, is that there is no 100mbit network cards for Zorro at all. Only 10mbit.

If thats not ennough help , here is a nice list of Zorro, PCMCIA and other based Ethernet card sollutions for Amiga:

And my hardware will not care which one of all those solutions I choose?
I'll go for high-end, but more important is how it works.

So, zorro-3 ethernet cards does not exist, I see.

Aaaarrghhh...I just realized that IP assigning with
PPPoE is done automatically through PPP...sorry,
once again please disregard my earlier comments.

Right, lets get this sorted. You will need:

- A Network Card (eg X-Surf from Individual Computers)
- A Router
- A TCP/IP package (eg: MiamiDX or Genesis)

Is there anything I've missed?

Hi all,

Does anybody know if any decent PCI ethernet cards work with either the GREX or Mediator? If so, what's the top throughput you could expect?

Nope, there arent. Bad as it is .

And for you question about whats steals, is the network cards in Zorro. They need lots of CPU power, much more than PCI for some reason I dont really know.

A simple thing is Ariadne_II for Zorro. On my 68040 I got maximum 300000cps. On my 68060 I really gain all the 10mbit speed. The choice is yours.

The Mediator Driver Guide  has a list of 10 and 100Mbit cards that have been tested with the Mediator.  What you'll get as a maximum throughput is hard to gauge.   I'd imaging that with a Mediator and a SharkPPC, one would get some pretty good performance.  I didn't find much on the GREX other than a reference to Realtek chipsets.

If you get a Mediator, would you report your findings?  I'm concidering a Mediator as a way to resurect my A3k.
