Is this "Network edition for DirecPC" new? You are sure about the
price?
I looked last Summer. Then the only software packages for the
direct-pc card were the Win 95 driver that comes with it, or the
expensive Linux router software package that really does cost $2.5K
(I looked again). I concluded I'd have to use Win 95 to make use of
the direct-pc.
I think I'd pay $200 for the Linux driver just to be able to do the
card with Linux rather than have to use Windows 95.
Where do I look for this software?
