Well, I tend to agree with you, but am pragmitic (?) enough to keep on using 
what works, while I await something that fits my requirements better, to come 
along ...

Had to get a similar NIC, and then set it up identical to the one that died, 
using it's DOS setup disk - why don't they make/provide setup disks for these

A fax page - thermal printer type - that has faded to be unreadable, and I
