realtech *shudders*, evil evil evil. I have found the hard way that realtech cards and access databases don't live well together on the same network, especially with win98. I don't understand the exact connection between the two, but if you use realtech cards and the native microsoft drivers, and any applications which use access databases, you will find that the databases become corrupt at random requiring repeted database maintanance to be needed. A good alternative I have found, with out going out and spending vast amounts on cards such as the Intel Eepro are the cards put out by Netgear. They live quite happily under both Linux and Windows and use the drivers from national semiconductors. They also don't cost much more than the realtech type cards, usually about $30 australian. Just my opinion anyway :). Later
