With System 7.1 you are limited unless you've installed OT. With Classic networking you have to reboot between changes (at least for IP, I don't recall for sure about AT). You can use two simultaneously, one for IP and one for AT. Some models of NuBus Ethernet card don't work well with others of the same type. I think Asante are one such. Apple cards don't have this problem. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
