Don't have one, but a clients sysop used one to introduce my box to their network and it seemed to configure easily and ran without any obvious problem. > -Hmmm, what else? Multiple hardware configs? Docked/undocked? I don't have a Dock but I use the Multiport II all the time with no difficulty. I'm not surewhat you mean by multiple hardware configs, but I can hang a Panasonic KXL783A, a Shark 250, and can run two modems (the internal and one PCMCIA) concurrently. To be candid I could never get a Jaz drive , IOMEGA 3+ GB tape drive, nor a similar Seagate tape drive to work with my setup. Also, my Accura 56kb modem just will not work consistantly with HyperTerminal but it does seem to work ok with DialUpNetwork/RAS. > -Oh- hibernate you say... how about suspend? While I'm at it... Suspend has the same problem set as hibernate. If anyone on the list has ever been able to get hibernate to work with NT 4.0 I would really like to hear about it. > the Dial-Up-Networking Upgrade 1.2 for Win95 seems to have killed my > ability to hibernate - I see the screen upon wake-up and it reboots > instantly.
