Intel makes good cards, but in your case almost any will do. You're limited by the T1, not by the NIC in the server.
 
You can usually get some management utilities for the intel server nics.
I used one for a while and it was rock solid. Even when the bus was pushed to 45mhz.

3com also makes some with management built in.

yea i had a 3com that was managed in there.......i got it from compusa.......but it died after two days.....
 
Just pop an Intel Pro/100 in it. I doubt you have a 64-bit PCI-X slot so anything other than a 32-bit 33MHz card is going to be useless.
 
3com and intel generally make the best nics. You were just unfortunate to get a bad 3com imo.
