Hi, the card goes into your Cf slot and has a cable coming out of it which should be like you are use to. I'm not sure if you can get them from normal computer shops but the humanware web page has a list of compatible things for the Bn's and the name and details of the card is listed there so if you take that information to a shop they should be able to tell you if they can get it for you.

Sorry I haven't been much help but I don't know that much myself about this topic.

Subject: [Braillenote] establishing lan connection

Hi List,

I was hoping I could get some help in establishing an LAN
connection on my Braille Note. Right now, I have the BN connected to the internet via a dial-up connection, but son I will be moving back into my apartment. Once there, I'd like to continue to access the internet with my BN, but it's going to require an LAN connection.

I'm reading the user guide, and I'm a little lost. First off,
what is an ethernet card? I used an ethernet cable in my aprtment to connect my PC to the internet, but I have no idea what this ethernet card is, that I apparently need? Can I buy the card from anycomputer store or does it have to come from Humanware? If it's a card, rather than the ethernet cable I'm used to, is there still a cable attached to the card that plugs into the wall (like how the ethernet cable plugs in the computer and in the wall). And which port on the BN does the ethernet card go in?

Also, what is a proxy server. Thats one of the options in the
connection entry form, but the user guide doesn't give any advice on when to choose the yes or when to choose the no option? How do I determine which one to select?

If you guys can help with any of these questions, I'd certainly
appreciate it.  Thanks so much.

Lauren
