Re: jalnet ne2000 f877 version, some success ??

Mike,

Ouch, if it were anywhere but Tuscaloosa... War Eagle!

Just kidding. :-)

When I get back from the long weekend, I'd be happy to send you the
card I have, if you want to fiddle with it. Or, I hold on to it until
I get a chance to test it out. Your choice.

I like my packetwhacker fine. I sort of messed up in the way I wired
mine, but at least it works.  The product is fine, it was just dumb
mistakes on my part.

Lets talk again in a few days.
