I wish I could include my two different 3COM drivers. But, I can not. They have licenses that forbid redistribution. Perhaps someone knows of some open source ones we could include. Or, maybe even someone could port the open source Linux drivers. But, no-one has done so yet and we cannot include license restricted software. In the meantime, I can only try to make it a little easier by doing things like looking for some of the OEM drivers, Sorry, Jerome _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
