		Hello Hardware gurus hackers and programmers:

			I am attempting to write a small routine which can be
executed on any pc that returns information on the resident network card (type
mem. cap. etc.)  (assembly/c routine).. My problem is that I am unsure of which
interrupts the card takes over when it is installed, whether or not these inter-
rupts are from the dos vector table or directly from the cpu, and how they can
be used to access card info.  If anyone has the time I would very much appreciate
 any information that could be provided.  I will send anyone that responds a copy
of the final program which does a series of hardware checks and verifications
on the pc, including nice output (not that anyone responding would need this,
but what the heck..)   If there are any ideas could you please e-mail them.
 			Thanks in advance,
	
			D. Rozee
