Actually though most of these are wired the same as an ethernet hub. (Thus if you then connect it to a hub it needs to be in either the uplink port, or use a cross over cable.) The next is a modem that connects via USB port. Then there are internal varieties. I would recomend that you ensure you get the ethernet variety. All others depend on your OS to work properly. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
