The consensus is to buy identical network interface cards which
work well with LTSP, 3Com905-tx is a low cost favorite at about $3
each or less on the surplus market. This would leave our stock to
distribute to volunteers who want broadband in their FreeBoxes.

Correction here... My comment was why buy the 3Com905-TX's when
we already have enough of them in stock to supply the lab. Today's
price on the 3Com's is $1.88 with 177 in stock on www.txmicro.com
Part of my thinking is our funding organization for this project
(United Way) is unlikely to grant us more money until we spend down
our current grant and show benefits to the target community. Jodi and
Nick are anxious that we spend the money soon. I apologize for not
saying this last Tuesday.
