I am leaning towards using David Systems 10BASE-T hubs, and need to specify 10BASE-T Ethernet cards for XT, AT, and AT clones. 1. Any suggestions for cards that have support for: Novell Just use the packet driver version. Banyon Vines I don't know of any packet driver support for Banyon. Best thing to do is call or write Banyon and ask them for packet driver support. Stanford SU-IP Just use the packet driver version. NCSA Telnet Just use the packet driver version. Packet driver Virtually everyone has 10Base-T cards now. Some manufacturers have cards that do all three technologies (AUI, Thinwire, TP). The best thing you can do is to call the manufacturer and ask them if they know if a packet driver exists for their card. If you get a yes (and they understood the question, and you didn't talk to a sales type whose answer is always yes), then you're home free. Otherwise drop me some email about specific boards, and I'll give you my best answer. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) FAX 315-268-7600 It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear -- Freeman Dyson I joined the League for Programming Freedom, and I hope you'll join too.
