    Hi,

    I am about to upgrade one of our servers (running 4-stable) with a
    1000Base-T network card, and the 3Com 3C996B-T looks interesting.
    This is for a small office server (e-mail, files, printers,
    webserver) serving about 25 pc's running a variety of Win2K, FreeBSD
    and Mac OS X.

    I found some messages in the past indicating there were some problems
    with this card on FreeBSD. Are these problems solved? I also did not
    see this exact card in the hardware list, although the 3c996-SX and
    3c996-T are mentioned.

    Otherwise, any recommendations?

    With kind regards,
    Ben
