Thanks Carl and Karlis (Hmm...seperated at birth?)
I bought one of those Linksys Networking kits and it came with 2 PCI cards,
but I already had 3 ISA cards. One of three machines I have only takes
ISA, so I guess I'll use that for my "Learn to jack with ISA cards and
isapnp" portion of the program. But I think I'll start with the 2 PCI
machines first....get something working.
BTW, my intramural basketball team (Quiet Storm) plays tonight. We're
1-0. Wish us luck. Included is my special "Quiet Storm" sig...I wear
number 0.
