Mike, I've seen lots of good info from you, so maybe you can help me
out.  I've got a no-name NE2000 compatible combo card in a machine my
daughter will take to school.  It runs fine in a Connect peer-to-peer
net using thin (coax) wires.  The dorms at school are wired for a
Novell network and require a thick Ethernet connection.  The question I
have involves the connectors - and a possible mismatch.  The card has a
DB15 connector rather than the phone type 8-pin job.  
1. Does this indicate a potential problem matching to the net?
2. If not, do you know the mapping of the DB15 to the 8-pin (I can
make cables).  Alternately, do you know if translating cables are
readily available.  Also, those thick cables appear to be common
twisted pair cable or is that a special cable?
3. Any special tricks to get the Novell client software running with
Warp?
Thanks,
    Will
