I'd hardly call it 'minor'. The difference between 2Mb/s and 11/Mb/s
(both being theoretical maximum transfer rates, not averages) is quite
ginormous when you're doing serious packet shuffling.

An email to Integrity Data reveals that:

    1) They've got 11Mb/s cards going for AUD$295 ('special promotion')
    2) They'll still do the old 2Mb/s Lucent cards for AUD$110.

The sales representative told me of their '...e-commerce site
http://www.ezywave.com for fast, effective on-line ordering.' So they've
got an online shopping page, it seems.

Still, they're not cheap. Theres the info, feel free to digest it in
whatever way you feel appropriate.
