----------
I keep the PC modem card (which does ethernet) in the lower slot. 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.
