Still in business? I thought so. With the advent of cheap hardware solutions for what STN does, it wouldnt be too much of a suprise to me if it wasnt, but I dont know for sure. I haven't had any traffic from the list in a while, if that is any indication. I thought I wasnt subscribed anymore.
I really dont think STN supports PCMCIA. If you look into the STN List archives, you will probably get an answer. That is if they are available You might want to download the source code and have a go at it, if you want to make it work. But you will have to look into that to see if it is available. That is too bad about your ISP, there has to be a way around that, you know, fried NIC and all.

I have to use the PCMCIA Nics because apparently my ISP has recorded the MAC number of the NIC and will not let me in unless I use that one. No other NIC will do. I tried it. I tried to send a question to the STN support and it bounced back. Is STN still in business ?
