Plipbox vs. conventional nic's

[madgrizzle]

Obvious question, but can the Plipbox handle such speeds (assuming you have one of the high speed parallel port cards)?  Has anyone tested this with one?

I was looking for a way to move the plipbox inside my Amiga 2000 and have been on the lookout for an IO card so I had easy access to a parallel port.  One was up on eBay and I bought it.  If no one else does, I will report back on my testing results when I get the card.  I have to read this:

I don't understand why someone would buy a Zorro Parallel card then plug an also very slow plipbox into it.  

You can get an X-surf for a little more that is five times faster.

Because why not?  I have a plipbox already and thought it would be a fun project to do.
