Though they did really change some stuff from what I heard.  They put
everything into a "smaller" package and did change stuff a bit.  But
yes, I had a driver under BSD/OS that was unofficial (if_ef.c) and it
worked flawlessly.  It was written for the 589B so I figured there
wouldn't be a problem.

Hmmm.

I've got 9600, so I'll change that and try it out.  I gather I have to
use the disk that came with the card in DOS to do that right?

Thanks,

BTW my config is:
