If USB sneakernet is fast enough for you, the 10Base-T speed would
be blazingly fast by comparison.

Anything which will work with 100BaseT will also work with
10BaseT -- just be slower.

Good Luck,
DoN.

There is certainly no need for a hub if you are only trying to connect
two machines. A regular crossover cable will do the job just fine. A hub
won't save you from having to configure your network settings either, so
no advantage. Also these days nobody used hubs anyway since switches are
cheap. I keep a little Linksys SD205 5 port 10/100 switch on hand for
quick network setups.

Thanks for the advice. My main problem, it may turnout, is a dead
card. The OS (WinXP) sees fully functional ports and hubs, according
to device manager - but nothing works in them.

OT3H - wireless card has been suggested. May take a look at that.

It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!

USB 3,4 and 5 port cards are available for less than $15

I may have to get another one. I think I may have broken the
little plastic gizmo which holds the socket in the sprocket.

Right now, I've got the thumb drive set up with a series of batch
files - I found Robocopy.exe does all the things I have wished
hardcopy would do. Oh, yes, now I are big damn guru type! (The Grand
Guru is the guy who has one more trick than you.)

If you cant get one, I could probably find and send you one.

Thanks, but I think I'll ransack my buddy's collection, next time
I'm over there.
