I recently received the 4.1 subscription CD.
I have an old machine doing only ppp and serving a printer on a home
lan.
So, why not upgrade to 4.1? Get into this century.
Wrong!
It appears from GNATS that the DEC EtherWORKS 2 and DEC EtherWORKS 3
NIC's no longer work with no prospect of it happening in the near
future. This happened with 4.0 and continues to -current, I believe.
Have we dropped two classes of NIC's without noting it in ERRATA.TXT?
HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT still list these devices as supported.
Can we at least fix the documents? Patches attached.
