Just to be clear, I wasn't whining or anything like that -- more like
"You gotta remember not to eject the card, dummy." Not that I have ever
done such a thing... (-:
Win98 will lockup if you eject an *ethernet* card without doing
their equiv of ifconfig down :) Told my partner he was nuts until he
showed me, and showed me the help section on downing it first.

No way! I knew Windows networking was bad, but I didn't know it was
getting worse over time! I yank my Linksys (NE2K) card out from under
Win95 all the time. Do you have a funky ether card, or am I being more
selective of what protocols I install, or is it really that bad??
