a) modems don't talk ethernet. b) cat5 uses RJ-45 connectors, phone lines use RJ-12. Good luck fitting a RJ-45 connector into a RJ-12 socket. UNLESS c) The only PCMCIA cards I've seen that do both modem and NIC in the one go are one model of Xircom cards which I now forget the model name of. If you had one of these, you'd be able to use both the modem and NIC part of the cards. In short, you need a proper network PCMCIA card. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg A friend with weed is a friend indeed. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
