Thanks to everyone who helped with my network card problems.

You know - I had an ISA 3c509 based card, which was killing my COM
ports, and wasn't PnP so isapnp didn't find it.  I eventually sorted
things out by buying a new PCI RTL8029-based card for $24.40 from
Zeus.  Plugged it in, rebuilt the kernel with PCI NE2000 support and
rebooted and voila! - net card AND serial ports.

Now I just need to set up wvdial and some other stuff so my Linux box
can gateway to the net.

Thanks again

Cheers,

John Breen
