For example, the Gigabit Ethernet mentioned earlier in use by MegaCam is currently a card from Syskonnect which has had a stable and well supported Linux driver that has been part of the ``stock'' Linux kernel for years. Using a standard (copper) crossover cable between the Detector Host and the Session Host, we transfer images at a rate of 32 MBytes/second (during a readout) even with overheads of the NFS protocol. FTP transfers to a RAM disk proceed at sustained speeds of 55 MBytes/second. These cards are available for $500 or less each.

Pages vs. Desks: FVWM in particular supports the concept of multiple DeskTops, all comprised of NxM screen-sized pages each, but we don't enable more than one DeskTop because things can become confusing very quickly that way, unless a DeskTop is 1x1 screen. It would have been perhaps nicer to use ``Desks'' instead of ``Pages'' because each Desk can be labelled by the user, similar to the ``Workspaces'' of CDE. The only problem with this alternative was that the key bindings mentioned above allow the user to pan off-screen, since they don't consult with the FvwmPager module to see how many Desks are actually displayed. Binding the key to moving by a Page rather than a Desk does do boundary checking though, so I chose that.
