	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.

Thanks,
Alan
