Check out www.hpna.com for reviews on HomePNA adapters. Linksys makes a
PCMCIA HomeLink ™ Phoneline + 10/100 PC Card. Intel makes a parallel port
version of the AnyPoint HomePNA network adapter. I purchased a parallel
port AnyPoint on ebay for about $15. Both of these are 1 Mbps, not 10 Mbps.

Subject: Networking a 70CT
Well, I'm receiving the digest and have read a bunch of the archives and I
still can find no info on exactly how one submits an email to the list, so I
will just try a reply and see what happens.
Among the bunch of computers here is a Libretto 70CT that I bought my wife a
few years ago and that we refer to as 'Baby'. I have the other three
functioning computers on a HomePNA network that works pretty well. The
other laptop interfaces via a USB port network card. I wanted to be able to
put Baby on it too, so I upgraded Baby to Win98 and bought a PCMCIA to USB
interface for it. Didn't work. The card worked in the other laptop but not
in Baby and I didn't know why, so I just gave up on it for a while.
Recently I discovered the digest and figured, hey, I can ask these folks.
Well, digging thru the archives I found the explanation that the 70 doesn't
support cardbus and cardbus is necessary to support USB. So, that is
settled.
Still, I would like to be able to get Baby on the network, mainly just for
file management and upgrading. A direct PCMCIA or parallel port HomePNA
interface would be good but I've never encountered either. Anyone have any
ideas on how to network an L70CT?
