Thank you. Unless the Dell Latitude I've ordered (with FreeDOS) has two network cards, I'm hoping not to have to bother with wireless networking. I ordered the one with an RJ45 jack, so I'm hoping not to have to. I only plan on using it as a backup system, and for telnet installations and diagnostics. I'm also trying to build a Core-2-Quad system with, hopefully, fileserver components. Michael
