I am from a previous era.



My only experience with netcom is 1. 1200bps external smart!!!

                                  2. proprietary internal faxcard

                                  3. 2400 internal full size card



All actually worked flawlessly (well, did the intended job...as least)

once they were setup, but setting the port and interupts was a nightmare.

You could only use the proprietary software and address/IRQ settings....

...BIG MISTAKE...

 



 PL> How's sunny north Qld?



Great in the day... but it is getting down to those freezing mid 20's at 

night lately.



Cyclones sure beat a metre of hail.
