hi

What adaptor do you recommend for the following setup?
Is there one someone has used successfully.

in the office no PCs are connected together, there is
just a 3Com BT broadband router where the other computers (modern ones)
connect to for the internet, emails etc wirelessly.

i have this windows 98 SE computer there and i want to connect when i have
to, so was thinking of a USB adapter to connect.

i tried a 3com one but couldnt get it to work.

is there another someone recommends before i buy another one that will not
do this?

thanks
shirl

I don't recommend any USB network adapters with Windows 98 SE. A PCI
Ethernet adapter installed in the computer is less expensive and more
reliable than USB and gives much better connection speeds.
