I see in LINT that the 2100 is listed under lnc, Isn't the 2100 also 2000 compat?? My FreeBSD box has two cards using ed. Novell NE1000 (for IPX playing) and a Who Knows brand NE2000 compat for real use. Works flawlessly. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
