Machine is Compaq DeskPro. Can't as yet find model name/number. Pentium 3. On mono NIC is Intel 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 Rev 8, according to lspci. If there's a DOS driver for that, then great, that frees up a slot. There's also on board audio, (Intel 82801), but you probably don't need audio on this box.

And Compaq *IS* was business class machine back in those days. On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 9:33 PM, Joseph Oprysko <joprysko1@gmail.com> wrote:
Bill, what is the make/model of the machine? I'll look around for a DOS packet driver just incase something like that beast exists. Using less IRQ's is better.. :)

No, the built in NIC is unlikely to be have a DOS driver, so you need the NE2000 NIC, which takes a slot. If you need another slot, you'll have to sacrifice the sound card.

If the NE2000 clone is sufficient, then we don't have to ask anyone else for a NIC.
...And it would save a slot for another modem later.
