If installed, this will allow remote booting of a PC via the network, and the Tashika card complies with the RPL standard for such devices, although not with the BootP specification. The card is auto-sensing too, so should configure itself to the correct network speed. Should it fail to do so, however, there's an option to force the correct speed via software. This disk also contains a diagnostics utility for testing that the card is operational, and a Plug and Play tool for Windows 9x users. There are some omissions, particularly where management is concerned.
Documentation is noticeably sparse too.
For network managers who are looking to reduce their administration costs and improve overall network management, this card isn't a good choice. Inc. All rights reserved. Inc.
