Probably. Most network hacks prefer to have external terminators and always turn off any internal termination. However, if you don't have any terminators, you can check to see if your cards have internal terminators. If so turn them both on and then leave things as they are. If you don't have on board terminators, you will need to go get some T's and terminators and connect them up. -- Kurt Olsen (kurto@cc.usu.edu) <a href="http://sls.mcs.usu.edu/~kurto/">Me & my Atari Lynx</a> archive.
