Ok Joe, I got the models of the machines they have. One of them is a
Mac 2VI and the other is a PowerMac 6100/60. I haven't seen the systems
as I havn't gotton out there yet... But will either of these macs hook
directly into the LiNUX Servers NE2000 card? (it supports both coax &
Twisted pair ports) Thanks.
