Mousepower is more like it.  David Lipkke of University
of Texas, Dallas, did a thing called the Texas Shoot Out
where he measured the performance of the various network
attachment units for the IBM channel.  The 8232 is generally
regarded as a loser, being an IBM-PC with a channel interface
and an Ungermann-Trout Ethernet Card.  The winner was the
BusTek box being both faster and cheaper than the other choices.

You might try asking the question on the IBMTCP-L@CUNYVM mailing list
where you're more likely to get informed answers.  No, I do not have
the telephone number for BTI.
