->  WC> The H.P. has one ISA slot occupied by an NE2000 network card.

-> I prefer the 3c509's since the ne2000's use extra cpu cycles to run them.  They
-> work good but the 3c509's are a noticable improvement (transfer speeds etc.).

Noted, thanks and jotted down.
I'll look into them.
There goes one of my PCI slots leaving but one left.

I DO have some network cards for ISA here and they're 3Com
so I might actually _have_ one.
I'll have to look into this.                    
Installation and use and such.
I'd expect Knoppix to autodetect it as it has successfully       
dtected everything else.
Great if I could swap out for the sole ISA slotted ne200.
