Hi,

Also remember that there are some nasty ISA PNP NICs about. You might want
to download and run the DOS utility for whatever card you have just to see
what parameters exactly are setup on the card and turn off PNP - I know
things have moved on recently but I still personally prefer it turned off.

As to previous remarks, I actually quite like some ISA network cards, it's
just that a lot of them were crappy. One of my home routers in Reading
works quite nicely with three ISA network cards (Intel/3com) but only
after a lot of twiddling in the supplied utilities.

[OT]

On the subject of networking, if anyone is having ADSL issues today would
they please drop me a line - my home link is ok, but another seems dead.

Jon.
