RE: [FW1] Ethernet interfaces for a FW-1 on a SPARC station



I don't believe sun makes a dual port card. I'd get the Sun quad port. You
might not use them, but the extra ports sure are nice if you do need them
someday. I'd also stick with Sun cards, You'll have far fewer problems.

   Just a note; I'm not sure if any of the FW-1 versions run under Solaris
8.


Have a nice day
