Thanks. :) I have a Dayna right now, which was originally destined for a Mac. Dayna normally makes ethernet adapters for Macs, but this is the first PCI card i've seen from them (the newer Macs have PCI slots). This card didn't work in that mac, so we tried my Kingston 10/100. They worked in both machines, so we agreed to trade for the duration. Needless to say, both parties were satisfied with the deal. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
