As long as it is NOT a 'WinModem'. I personally prefer the US Robotics Sportster cards -- reasonably priced, quite capable and speedy, handles bad phone lines well. But it's up to you. As for ethernet, I recently bought a Netgear FA-410TXC card. It's 10/100Mbps (supports both protocols!), and was quite reasonably priced ($70 at Circuit City, of all places!) Works very well for me, I use it with Win98, Linux, and FreeBSD (yes, I really have 3 OS's on my laptop). --- Donald Burr | PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
