Do full duplex 10/100mbps Isa ethernet cards exist?

They have been produced, but are not very popular or worthwhile as the
ISA bus can only handle 64Mb/s, and obviously not all of that can be
network data.

There's the 3Com 3C515. The time I tried one it managed about 15Mb/S. This
is a limitation of the ISA bus I think.

So yes, but not worth it unless you have an ISA only machine and a 100Mb
only switch.

Many thanks for your replys

If I had a 10/100 router and connected it to that with a 10mbps ethernet ISA
card (running as a server), can I still get the full benefit of 100mbps on
all other machines?

Yes, certainly.
If the purpose of the router is to share an internet connection by
"broadband", which is usually 0.5Mb/s, however, you will see absolutely
no difference between 10 and 100Mb/s because you have only 0.5Mb/s to
share out.
(double-ISDN is 0.128Mb/s, modem 0.048Mb/s)

That would be the main purpose, although I'd hope to experiment with
multicasting and file sharing.
