These cards are not supported in the release kernel but I have been fortunate enough to find drivers at a site on the internet. Now, the problem is getting the necessary files onto my hard disk. I can't FTP them direct to the machine obviously so I'll need to FTP them first to a system I have net access on, then download them from there to the machine. No biggie, except for the life of me, I can't find a decent terminal program to use. (text mode, haven't configured X-Windows yet) Linux experience tells me there must be a FreeBSD equivalent to 'MiniCom' which comes with Linux slackware... (I hope) -Kurt
