Sounds like that may be what I'm looking at. CompUSA had them in their
ad, made by D-Link.  I haven't actually bought the thing yet.

Good, that's what I had envisioned.

I don't expect a problem with Linux.

I think I have already got that covered.  I've been using filing my
taxes and using FTP from Win98 for several years (since Kipplinger
killed the Win3.1 version of TaxCut) I may have to fiddle with the P4
when I get it hooked up (XP on that one)

Thanks, Mike.  I hope you and yours are safe down there!
