Dear JB,

These laptops ARE old, they ARE 486s with 8 MB memory etc. So it is like 
your Salvation Army PC.

I have to use the PCMCIA Nics because apparently my ISP has recorded the 
MAC number of the NIC and will not let me in unless I use that one. No 
other NIC will do. I tried it.

I tried to send a question to the STN support and it bounced back. Is 
STN still in business ?

Thanks
SC
