Can anyone recommend good cheap network cards?
Anything based on the RTL8139 chipset will work well with Linux, and they
are always temptingly cheap... I really need a *good* network card, but
this $25 dollar one should see me through...
Don't use them for anything

I am still trying to sort out a Redhat login logo problem I have
been having. Hopefully there is someone else who hates the redhat
logo on the list.

the graphical login. I want to get rid of the Redhat logo and boring

Pick any two.
Good. Cheap. Available.
depends how you define cheap. You can pick up good NE2000 clones based
on the realTek chipset for somewhere around the $25 mark if you're happy
with a 10 meg network

Does anyone have comments on this thread about the desirability
of being loudly and proudly pro-Linux? Wouldn't we want Optus to
know that Linux is a growing market, and that we vote with
our pocketbook? Isn't this the essence of capitalism?
I sure don't think silence is the right answer,

I've got dosemu itself going. Exitemu works fine. I can dir, copy to/from
floppy (painfully slowly).
But I can't get anything worthwhile working. Protel Trax just goes into a
black hole. Nothing. Reset button recovery. Same with a number of simple
little dos games. I think it's a video card

I agree with Graeme.
I had trouble with all the other brands mentioned above and only since I
used RTL8139C these troubles disappeared.

Just realise that the rtl8139's are simplistic cards (hence their
compatibility), but you trade off their simplicity against the amount
of CPU time in the host they burn.

it under Linux anymore.

In case you don't realise, Optus@Home runs predominantly on Linux servers so
if any company is pro-linux, it is them. I don't believe Optus is forcing
