Sorry, I meant to say the network cards are 3Com HomeConnect 10Mb Phoneline PCI NICs.
I have a six-year-old 486DX with 24MB running Debian, and I'd like to connect it to my home network, which currently consists of two Win98 machines connected by 3Com network cards. What is the best way to connect my Debian box in? As I see it, I have two choices: -- Use a null modem cable to hook up to one of the Windows boxes -- Install a 3Com network card in the Debian box Secondly, one of the Windows boxes now has a DSL modem and the other has a printer and scanner attached. Here I see three choices: -- Leave the peripherals where they are -- Hang the peripherals off the Debian box -- Hang one or two of the peripherals where they are and hang the other(s) off the Debian box What is my best option? How do I go about configuring Debian to use that option? Michael Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
