     Hello all managers.
     
     I have two AlphaServer 2100 5/250 Rackmount (DA 254P1-K9) with
     installed 3 PCI cards (SCSI controllers) and I need to add
     NIC 100Mb Ethernet. I check in DEC products catalog and can't
     find other FastEthernet NIC than DE500-XA which is PCI card.
     I have none PCI slot available.
     I need to made fast, direct link beetween two machines running
     Informix OnLine DS 7.20 in replication mode. This connection
     will use only for Informix data exchange purpose (I'm starting
     with 4GB database replicated).
     I have DigitalUNIX 3.2c installed and can install DU 3.2d1.
     
     I have question:
     
     Are there EISA FastEthernet adapters, or You have sugestions to
     use other adapters with this speed, at comparable price ?
     
     Did I really must remove one PCI SCSI controller to install DE500 ?
     
     I have 2 controllers needed by DECsafe and one needed by WORM drive.
     Can I connect WORM to other controller ?
     
     Any suggestions welcome,
     Thanks In Advance,
     Regards,
     
     Tomasz Baranowski, PROKOM, Poland.
     
     PS. Sorry for my English.
     TB.
