Those are as read from the bottom, with I/O below the memory block. My 2.2.5-RELEASE Handbook says that the 3c503 info is in FAQ135.html#135: 9.9. How do I get my 3C503 to use the other network port? If you want to use the other ports, you'll have to specify an additional parameter on the ifconfig(1) command line. The default port is ``link0''. To use the AUI port instead of the BNC one, use ``link2''. -- Kris Kirby <kris@airnet.net> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
