It works great! Since I don't have a big hard disk on my laptop, (503 MB, 240 MB for Windows 95, 260 MB for FreeBSD) I'd like to seek the possilibilites of networking my laptop to my existing LAN. Currently I have an Xircom Ethernet+modem PCMCIA card in the loptop. As I know the Xircom was not supported. Does anyone has a device driver for that card? Or, Since I have lpt1 on the laptop, can I use lpt1 to connect my laptop to an ETHERNET segement? Thanks alot! Ching Shih shih@cithe312.cithep.caltech.edu
