That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure if the old WaveLAn drivers would run the Orinco cards so I didn't want to give bad advice. As you know, the old Lucent WaveLAN drivers are the only that list support for the older machines such as our 5300cs and for OSes below OS 8.6. > > You said you are running 7.5.3 and MacTCP on your 5300...

Yes, I agree MacTCP is not very elegant, but we've have no problems at all once we got it configured. Cathy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
