Ouch, I usa a compaq LTE 5300 (pentium 133, 48 meg, 2.1gig) and the PCMLM56,
a Linksys dual 10/100 and 56k card
and it works like a dream with my Redhat 6.1 system. Got the Linksys for
about $150.00 and I highly recommend it for
both Linux and Winblows. The RJ connectors are built into the card, no
dongle's or adapters. Nifty.
My two cents...
Later..
