Just got my 750C; have network question
Greetings all. I've been monitoring the mailing list for a while, and
I (finally!) got my 750C. Actually, I had given up on getting one
and had ordered a different machine, then wonder-of-wonders, I found
one via internal company transfer. What luck.
The machine is a pretty standard config, 170 mbyte disk, 4 mbyte mem.
I've successfully loadad MS-DOS 6.2 on it (someone had asked about
this a few days back). I'm running Windows 3.1 and plan to load
Windows for Workgroups on it to allow connecting to a rather large
Windows NT network. I'm also planning to load a TCP/IP stack on it to
connect to our Unix/Corporate environment. I'm waiting on the new
19.2 Megahertz PCMCIA card before installing a modem.
With the transfer, I got an IBM Ethernet PCMCIA card, but I'm stumped
at the moment on how to use it with either Windows(WFW) or with any
TCP/IP stacks. The drivers that came with it do not appear to support
either. Are drivers available somewhere? Am I just looking for the wrong
thing on the installation floppy? Or will this just not work. Is there
a different/better ethernet card for my needs?
Any comments or suggestions on my network driver dilima, or my plans for WFW and
TCP/IP will be appreciated.
Thanks,

P.S. - regarding the battery survey, my machine ran about three hours
last night on a full battery charge with heavy disk use (installing
software). I'll do a more rigorous test for the survey as time
permits.
