Good deal! I wasn't aware of a card that would work _only_ with the 
8139too module ... I'll make note of that! They're great cards in any
case.

Nope, but it won't work if there is not enough text to scroll on the
screen and it only caches so much text at a time (ie... it will only 
remember "x" amount of old information).

Nope, that stuff should work fine. There are some services, like IRC
for file sharing, netmeeting, and others that require "helper" modules.
You would set these in the "modules" file if you need any of them.
