(I am running another system with an Intel enet card, 2 3940's & an NCR 810 where the B channel of one of the 3940's is on the same IRQ (9) as the enet card that is working just fine (this a single Pentium 166MHz system running 2.2.2R). -- Bob Willcox Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made bob@luke.pmr.com President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
