I am thinking about connecting my PC to the campus network; this should be
as simple as just getting an ethernet interface card for my box, and a cable
to connect to the modular plug (methinks an RJ-11, not too sure, this will
be for my dorm room in the Fall, I haven't seen it, and I've been able to 
break into my building only once this summer :)

As I have no knowledge of networking on the hardware-end whatsoever, I 
am not Real Sure of whether this is right. 

If it is, anyone know of any good [read : cheap] places to buy ethernet cards?
Computer Shopper was real weak on ads regarding these.

And a subsidiary question:
anyone come up with an ftp server for a non-unix running PC?  If not
I figger I can take ftp/ftpd source and come up with a quik hack for it...
