I believe it's the buffer size on the card though, not necessarily the driver. If I get a chance I'm going to slap our sniffer on it. I also have a 486DX2/66 with a 3c579 that seems to work much better... -Andrew -- ========================================================== Andrew Gillham gillham@andrews.edu LAN/WAN/Netware/Unix Analyst gillham@whirlpool.com ==========================================================
