Hi Michael,

I brought a cheap PCI ethernet card from the North Rocks Sunday markets
and installed it into my system. It is a EZ-3200PCT+ card made in
Taiwan. Cost me $40.

Card works really well, I had to make a new kernel with a setup for
NE2000 type card for ISA (as there is no entry in the PCI section of
the configuration menu's). 

Additionally, you may have to run the supplied setup program under DOS to
change your card from Half Duplex, to Full Duplex. Why this is not the 
default I don't know, it should be, but maybe this was only for my
particular card.

Cheers Grahame
