Randy,
I'm a little late to the party, but to get a Compaq connected to Ethernet
look for the following:
- 8 bit: NE1000, 3Com 3C503, WD or SMC 8003 series
-16 bit in an 8 bit slot: Some NE2000 clones, Intel 8/16
- 16 bit cards: many choices
There are a lot of choices for networking code, but a

Hi Rich,
Start simple.
A brief description or picture(s) of things might help. Unfortunately
we don't have any idea what you have.
Can you start listing off something like

I think that it would need to be Windows for Workgroups; 3.1 / 3.11, to

Randy's Compaq is, that may be a tall order for the system.

I'd be interested in knowing more about your ARCnet boards. Of course,
that is if Randy doesn't end up using them.

As others have said, I would expect that many 16-bit ISA Ethernet cards
to work in 8-bit ISA slots.
You might look for NE-1000

I believe 16 bit ethernet cards would work in 8 bit slots, the 3c503 and
509 did if I recall. Try that.
But really you should go with ArcNet.
