Pat:

I just talked to one of my sources on the used market...

He indicated that if you have a free slot that will accomodate it, you can
put the 2810 feature card with the 2838 ethernet adapter in the 9406-500
system for around  $ 1,200.  This solution gives you a 10/100 ethernet
adapter.

OR

You can put a 2617 feature card in it (along with a transceiver) for around
$ 200.00, but this only gives you 10 mbs....

He said he has _both_ options available, in stock...
