It uses a dongle with both the phone and ethernet jacks in it. So, I never forget the PC card, but I did forget the dongle...once.
I keep a 128mb SanDisk CF card in a card reader in the upper slot, which I use for VRAM. My PB 1400c has a video out jack in the back. I have the adapter for it, but I don't often use it, because the only other monitor I have is a 640x480 Motorola and I don't like it. Are you saying I can pull that card out and replace it with an ethernet card? TIA, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
