Hello from Gregg C Levine And your quite right, Adam. Every time I stuff a NIC into an ISA slot on a computer running Linux, and tell the bird where to find the card, and what kind it is, I discover it enabled both the appropriate module/driver, and then the collection for ISA system services. It's nearly a kludge, but it works. In fact transfers are nearly as fast as that of the PCI NIC cards that I normally use. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
