Ken, thanks so much for your help. My new network "stuff" arrived today. I
think I need to go pick up a cable, but otherwise I believe I am ready to
network our three machines. Thanks again! I had not realized that the
prices had dropped so much since I had last looked!
Cheers, Maya, the soon-to-be-networked

You want two cards and a crossover cable. An example of the crossover cable
would be:

Or a hub would be good - you can get them quite cheaply - but the crossover
cable performs the same function as a hub. A low-cost hub ($27.95) would be:

or 10/100 support at $38.95:

These would be good investments for future upgrade plans - 8+ port hubs are
a bit more, but well under $100...
The 3Com cards come with everything you need, save the crossover cable above
($4.95) to hook two machines together. These cards come without drivers, but
both Win95 & Win98 have the required driers included in the distributions.
More current drivers can be downloaded over the internet if needed.
HTH,
Ken
