If you've wanted to connect your computers together to share files, applications, CD-ROM drives, hard disks, printers, and more, look no further! The 10/100 Network In a Box comes with everything you need to get up and running in just a few minutes. Just plug in the cards, attach the provided 100BaseTX cables, install the software drivers -- and go! Your data will move at blistering speeds! Best of all, you can seamlessly inte- grate your old 10Mbps hardware with no hassles!

Fast Ethernet is a relatively new standard of networking built specifically for speed-intensive network applica- tions like video-conferencing, multimedia development, imaging, and complex databases. Capable of sending and receiving data at 100 megabits-per-secondover 4 wires in half duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full duplex, Fast Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than traditional 10BaseT networks.

Built to run with the fastest video, publishing, graphics, and database applications, the EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card is a high performance network adapter for desk- top computers with 32-bit PCI expansion slots. Boasting an incredible maximum data throughput of
