Hiya Roy,
On 18-02-98, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I 
heard Roy J. Tellason whispering to all about more cards,
 RJT> It says on the front of the booklet,  "IBM 16/4 ISA-16 Adapter"
 RJT> installation and testing instructions.
IBM Token Ring cards. Very expensive. You need an MAU to use them. Very nice 
though. I use them here running at 16 meg. (They also run at 4 meg, hence 
16/4)
 RJT> goes with them,  etc. and I don't suppose that these cards would
 RJT> bear any remote possibility of working with that stuff,  even though
 RJT> they both use RJ-45 connectors.
If you're using Ethernet then you'll need either a translational switch (Not 
recommended at all in any circumstances. Far too expensive and crap anyway.) 
or a router or bridge with a token ring and Ethernet card in. Not likely to 
be within a home network budget.
