However, "those cards" that the question was asked about are AE2's, not NodeRunner 2000's which are entirely different Artifsoft NIC's. All the AE2 and AE3 models are jumpered; I've never gotten anything but excellent service from them. The NE2000 clone mode is very clean, unlike a lot of clone NIC's. Also, there is really no need to send someone you are responding to a copy of your post in addition to what you send to the list unless it's been indicated that they are not subscribed and therefore need a separate copy.
