   Entitled to your opinions ... but NVRAM tech is NVRAM
   tech no matter what 'brand' name they call it these
   days. EXOTIC nvram exists of course ... like ferroelectric
   memory chips ... but the cap is rather low, best for
   microcontrollers, maybe phones.

   True.

   Of course that's ON-BOARD network ports ... add-on boards
   with 4 ports are pretty cheap.

   Oh, speaking of mini-boards, SuperMicro sells a series,
   very compact (some WITH boxes) with four ports. Installed
   a router/firewall on one of those and was pleased. Very
   impressive little boards - had interfaces on them for
   things I'd never heard of - a 'complete embedded solution'
   in a 6x6 package.

   I never buy from Ali. Decided awhile back to just
   get ONE nice USA Amazon acct. If they don't have
   it I don't buy it. Don't wanna make my card
   numbers even more accessible to the PRC. Trust
   Ali as much as Ali-Baba and friends ....
