The utility is also on the floppy that came with the card in the \setup
directory (it's called setup.exe IIRC).

If you're installing the card in a PCI box, be sure to reserve the IRQ for 
"Legacy ISA" use in your BIOS.

I've built several firewalls using $50 486's that I found at used-computer
stores and I've used DE220's exclusively. They work great for me.
