As of 14:20 today my inexpensive ($180) Computer City-bought 10Mb PCI network began to fly. If you have from 3 to 5 PeeCees that you intended to network at home 10Mbit/sec should do it; if you are commercial, you'll need 100Mb. At any rate, when I've recovered from this ordeal, I'll publish exactly what I did. This pertains only to PCI m'boards and systems running FBSD. It probably won't apply to even the majority of similar cases. It should help you to avoid some pitfalls. gary PS to Doug White: yeah, this _was_ easier than PLIP. -- Gary D.
