All of the combo cards I've seen seem to identify themselves as modem cards, with the ethernet support "hidden" - in the absence of software to recognise the specific card (and PCMCIA multifunction support in the OS), they'll work by default as a plain modem and thus require no driver. Again, modems generally don't need drivers, or more accurately the driver support is so simple that you can assume it's universally present - this is a pleasant legacy of the fact that a modem once needed to work with a dumb terminal or teletype. I'd be surprised if your GV combo card didn't work this way in your router (as a 33.6; you can't receive an incoming 56k call on an analog phone line, though you ironically could through the ISDN B-channel, not that there'd be any point). -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you can't play with words, what good are they?" ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
