I can't remember offhand the maximum length of UTP cables, but I think
it's in excess of 200m :)

There's definitely some zorro based ethernet cards, tho I can't think
of any offhand (Good 'ol A1200's can have PCMCIA network cards ;)
Anyway you'll need a TCP stack to actually do anything with the card,
and I wouldn't use Miami as the author of the cnet.device (the device
driver for pcmcia cards) says thats it's a lot slower than AmiTCP for
network access.
I couldn't say myself, as I've never used Miami.
Also, network software might be included with your card, there was a
version of AmiTCP on the network software supplied by PowerC...
See ya :)
