PhoenixNET: What is it?

[Nagorak]

I have an EPoX 8K7A motherboard with a Phoenix BIOS and apparently it has support for PhoenixNET (there's an option to enable or disable it in the BIOS). Can anyone tell me what exactly PhoenixNet is, and whether I should enable support for it?

I tried to find info online, but I couldn't find much useful information on this feature.

Thanks in advance!

It takes up 8192 bytes of BIOS!!! It is pretty usesless. It is basically an online tiny abyss of nothing that may come to a fruitional use in the fututre, however is of very limited use right now.

The best thing you can do (in order to stop your PC looking for it online very time you boot) is just disable it.
