 RJT> Now I've got another one of them.  Only this one's 
 RJT> complete in a clear plastic "box",  with manuals,  
 RJT> disks,  etc.
 RJT> It says on the front of the booklet,  "IBM 16/4 ISA-16 
 RJT> Adapter" installation and testing instructions.
 RJT> Now,  I'm just starting to dabble in networking,  and 
 RJT> am quite happy for the moment with the 3Com cards I 
 RJT> have here,  and the hub that goes with them,  etc. and 
 RJT> I don't suppose that these cards would bear any remote 
 RJT> possibility of working with that stuff,  even though 
 RJT> they both use RJ-45 connectors.
 RJT> So what are these good for?  Anything?
ICOCBW, but;
