I looking for someone to help me hook up my NeXT and PC with a 
ethernet connection.  I have a Western Digital 16bit ethernet card, 
a 20ft cable, and all the NCSA Telnet stuff (as well as the SOSS software),
but try as I might I can't get the two to find each other.  I don't
actually get any errors, I just can't figure out how to set them up so that 
the PC's Telnet can find my NeXT.  Setting up the NeXT also seems to be 
a problem because almost all of the documentation is about  setting up 
NetInfo, and about connecting up to a existing network.  Unfortunitly, I 
don't have a existing network to connect to, just two lonely boxes.

What I'm looking for is someone to come over to my basement and help me 
set them up.  If you're willing but would like some reimbursment, that's 
fine.
