Well, of course this is MY news, which is always to be regarded with suspicion (if you don't believe that, ask my wife<g>). Sean makes a case against ISA cards, which I haven't observed to be a practical problem myself. But he's the hardware man and knows about that better than I; moreover, my info on that score is old and not well documented. It could easily be that my memory failed me severely in one way or another. Old memory chips are always going on the blink.<GG> Anyhow, we seem to agree on the PCI cards. Of course, then you need a slot, but what the hell; nothing's free. BTW, personally, I wouldn't buy an ISA NIC if it came with a 200% rebate. I'm still waiting for 10/100 bridges to come down.
