I've seen a lot of Cardinals get sent back for repair or simply returned
for a refund. I wish I had some statistics for you--I don't so all I can
say is motorola and usr (non56ks) have outperformed every Cardinal I've
seen to date. I get better download speeds, my connections don't drop and
I don't have to be concerned about irq conflicts. One cardinal I had the
misfortune to work on was set for com 1... the irq had to be set for
com2+4's irq. It was the only way it'd work.
I'm glad you have good experiences with Cardinal's. I, unfortunately, have
not.
