Dennis, Do these work ok under (shudder) Windoze? I have some client WfW & W95 machines on a net that are Win machines. (Netware? I might donate one to my church's Novel 3.12 server.) Ok, they're faster than an ISA NE2000. How does that compare to, say the 3Com 509's? Thanks John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
