I use a 486DX2-66 or DX4-100 or DX2-80 using the modem on com2 and an ethernet ne2000 for local lan. I setup a static route and subnet mask according to the number of pc conected to the other side of the internet provider (I use 0xfffffff0 as netmask). Works fine (my ping time is 150ms) between the isp and the other peer. > > Jonas > > AccuMed International. > >
