Hello Andrew,
Replying to a message of Andrew Leary to All:
 AL> I'm currently in the market for a pair of NICs to network 2 machines:
 AL> 1.  Pentium 133 running OS/2 Warp 4
 AL> 2.  Pentium 166MMX running Windows 95
 AL> I'd like recommendations on NICs supported by both operating systems,
 AL> supporting 10BaseT or (preferably) 100BaseT over UTP wiring.
 AL> I've looked at the SMC 9432 PCI cards, but haven't found anything as
 AL> far as OS/2 drivers for them.
Personally, I would use 3COM 3C905 cards.  They are 10/100 PCI cards with 
RJ45 connectors.  If you get an older set where the OS/2 drivers are not on 
the supplied disk, the OS/2 drivers can be downloaded from the 3COM BBS or 
web site.
Regards, Alec
