A fair number of 16-bit ISA ethernet cards will work in 8 bit mode. This has been discussed in the past on VCF. I use an Artisoft AE-2/T on one 8-bit system (it has a jumper for 8/16 bit operation) and a generic NE2000 ISA PNP on another. No problems. If you're looking for minimal-sized functionality for telnet and ftp, Mike Brutmann's MTCP works a treat with packet drivers on 8 bit. --Chuck
