Hi again ! Thanks for the tips. However, I'm not a very experienced network user, so : how do I download the pnpdump & 3c5x9 files from your web-site (bearing in mind that I'm using netscape under windows95 (when I go to the address, and choose save file, the file type is html)), and then how do I access them from debian? By the way, the 3c509 is the only card I have, and I'm using the 10 base T output. cheers, Rich.
