Well the PI/2 can allegedly do 2Mb/sec, and I'd put a bet on it being
cheaper to design and build a fast I/O driven 4Mb/second board based on
a 68302 than to buy a Cisco. [Im not saying you dont get good things from
a Cisco, just its the wrong approach]

With an ISA bus 4Mb/sec boards are going to be a problem at about 2 or 3
from gut feeling, with PCI it won't be an issue.
