I should probably also set up 98. I chose 95 because it was quite an important version of Windows, and it is just nice to see how it used to be. > > And I have a similar 98SE/XP/Debian K6 box using the 3C905-TX with no > problems whatsoever. I also have Windows 3.1 and Windows For Workgroups 3.11 on the machine. I installed NT 3.1 and the network for that was fine (if I remember correctly). So, I don't think there is anything wrong with the card itself, but there is something not right with my installation of Windows 95 itself. I'll have another look at some point. > > My phone screening software runs on 98SE on an old 400MHz Neoware VIA > thin client 24/7 and has been doing so for months. > > Supposedly, WinME with appropriate patches is even more solid, but I've > never tried it. > > FWIW, > Chuck
