It seems a bit odd... Is it just me? Well, now I've managed to lock up the interface in a repeatable fashion by running xv to a remote display on an NFS'd file, so it's pretty clear that this card isn't doing very well with large traffic. I would have gotten a DEC chipset card, but didn't see any at Fry's. I'll try elsewhere, I guess. The problem also occurs under win95. Is the 3C590 just crap or something? P.s. 2.1.5R's vx driver does _not_ give me the early adapter warning, but I didn't check the code to see if 2.1.5R actually checks. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "I don't mind shooting, so long N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | as the right people get shot." +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ | -- "Dirty" Harry Calahan
