This sounds VERY good, but I can't get the 3com software to work!!! Even when booting from a floppy (DOS v7.0) it still says 'Windows 95 detected . . . do an F8 and safe mode/console only' I can't seem to get the manual config (TR:BNC) to run. :-(( Any suggestions? It's version 5.4 of the 3c589x.EXE file.
