It usually gives you the IRQ 3 and Port address 0300-031F. Unfourtunately the diskettes that come with these net cards come with dos configuration programs. Some day the same information willcome in handy for us FreeBSD users. Hoping that this gives you some light.. Greetings Simon. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
