To add some fun into this "bargain" thread,  last week a friend of mine bought
a ET4000 based card with *ONE MEG* made by Boca Research from a mail order 
place in Arizona, called Warehouse 54, for $158 (Fed Exp 2nd day shipping 
included).

He is quite happy with it using it for MSWIN3.x apps.  I don't know whether 
it's good for Thomas Roell's server however, since I don't have it's spec.   

BTW, Warehouse 54 -> 1-800-955-0054 a number you can find in Computer Shoppers.

Standard Disclaimer:  I have no affiliation whatsoever with either Boca      
                      Research or Warehouse 54.  The statements above are
                      strictly for info only.

Check it out however with the Tech Support of Boca Research however.
