Linux / Sco Stuff.

I may have an old ISA network card in my basement, or Oren has it from
when he took all my extra old cards.   You'd have to get drivers and put
on floppy, but that would be another answer.   I think I probably have a
few 3Com ISA cards come to think of it.  3C509-TPO   Great cards.
