You're joking, right? The only Ethernet cards I know of which support connecting multiple network cables to one card are the really expensive 4-port RJ45 cards that have highly specialized hardware to basically act as 4 NICs on one board. Any plain $5 BNC/TP combo card certainly does NOT support connecting a cable to both BNC and TP connector! -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * If Windows sucked, it would be good for something.
