ok, well,  I came across an SMC 10/100 EZNET PCI NIC card.  It says it works
with linux and is SCO compatible.  I plugged it in and no go.  Can someone
please explain to me how I would set this thing up to get me on the net with
Free BSD 4?

Thanks to anyone reading this

Your best bet is to get an Intel EtherExpress/Pro 100(B/+) (fxp) or 3Com
3c905B (xl). These are some high quality nic's and very supported. If you
are on a budget you might want to look at a SMC Epic (tx).

Thanks,
