Probably easier driver-wise to pick up an old ISA NIC and a portable multi-purpose mini-router like this:
321304924005 I've used one to put a C64 on the Net via WiFi. Mind you, it looks like my posts are still going unread ;-) That WiFi adapter below sure looks a lot like one in my post a couple of days ago (although it is a couple of bucks cheaper) Sigh... ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex ...

Drivers for DOS/Win3.11 would probably be a challenge, though. Older Linux/BSD might work.

But amazing. I was thinking of getting an old Toshiba T5200/100 luggable laptop the other day (sucker for the plasma screen) and was thinking of putting an ISA ethernet card in it. But, with this I could lug the thing into McDonald's (hey, it runs Win3.1...) or I could take my M100 into McDonald's... but it's way too expensive for me to even consider buying.
