[c-nsp] pa-feisl-tx cards

[Howard Leadmon]

As someone stated earlier, the ISL is for TokenRing, but they are still
100baseT adapters as long as you don't need the ISL functionality. I know the
PA-2FE-TX is the right choice, but years ago when that board and the 7206 came
out, I used a couple of them for some LAN segments and they worked fine.  In
fact I know I even did some .1q trunks, so most of that must work.  

So is it the best option, no, but will is work for basic FE service, well my
experience has shown they will.  So if you have them on hand, or got some
cheap, I'd at least give them a try and see if they will work for your needs..
