[plug] plip windows 98 <-> linux

[Kim Covil]

You might be able to find a second hand PCMCIA network card for that
much... I know Zeus had one up for sale for $11 last week (second hand
stock they wanted to clear... and it went quickly within a day)

I have picked up a couple at various times from different places for
<$25... You just need to keep your eyes open and be quick... you might
be lucky on somewhere like ebay or the newsgroups

Cheers

Kim
