Well, me and my buddies lost our netDOOM access and we're considering just buying our own (yes... its that much fun, and we're that lame). Anyway, just how cheap can you set up a network? I have heard that it can be done for about $80/person. Any truth to this? Any replies greatly appreciated.

You can get cheap NE2100 16-bit ISA Bus-mastering cards with IPX drivers from CSC at 408-734-3475. Thier $49 a piece, and even cheaper in quanities. -- Carl A. Merritt <brom...@rahul.net>

Don't feel bad about being lame, I ran around work here for 2 days trying to get IPX drivers for my cards. Talk about lame, but what the hell I'm having fun!!!! > Anyway, just how cheap can you set up a network? I have heard that > it can be done for about $80/person. Any truth to this?

All that my roomate and I are using are two Western Digital 16 cards with the Novell IPX protocol loaded. In other words all that you need are a couple of network cards and the IPX for those cards. The best place to find cards for competitive prices is in Computer Shopper. Just make sure that the cards you buy support IPX. Later, Scott (also)
