Here's my question: how do you know what IRQ and interupt to 
specify for
your card?  The Net3-4 HOWTO tells me that my card's 
manufacturer
probably sent me a DOS disk that lets me configure my card.  I 
don't
have that.  The card I have is a good old 3COM 509.  3COM's site 
has no
configuration utilities for the card that I could find either.

The 3C509 came in both ISA "Plug 'n Pray" and non PNP models; in 
either case, the 3C5X9CFG.EXE file on 3Com's website will set 
the units where you want them.

If you have the "Combo" model, with both BNC and RJ-45 
connectors, be sure to option the correct interface.

HTH.

Bill
