I agree....Parallel port network adapters. Xircom model PE series should
work well assuming you can find packet drivers. I have had real good
luck with Xircom products and their phone tech support. As I remember,
my PE Pocket adapter is strictly 10Meg and coax only, so you would need
the associated hardware - tee's and terminators.
Of course with a parallel ethernet adaptor you will lose parallel port
keying.
I'm not familiar with the IBM series, but it might be worth a try to find
Cardsoft drivers and load them under DOS.
Good luck with that and good luck in the contest next weekend.
