The thing that has the double-headed arrow icon is the AAUI ethernet port. What you need is an AAUI to 10-base-T tranceiver; about $30 new or available for a lot less elsewhere...try the LEM swap list. http://www.asante.com/products/adapters/fn10ta/index.html The ethernet is built into the motherboard, no card needed. Plug in the tranceiver, plug in the cable and you're good to go, so long as the ethernet extensions are installed. The 540 was one of the first laptops of any sort to be network ready out-of-the-box. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
