Does anyone out there have experience with trying to run multiple Ethernet cards and protocols in a PC? What I need to do is be able to grab files from a network running HP's Officeshare (based on MS Networks) and send them out again on another net running XNS (Xerox Network Services). (The key here is that I don't want the person running this application to be able to capture the file; otherwise, I'd just boot the machine with HP OS, copy the file to disk, then reboot with XNS and spit out the file to the net). Is it possible to put two 3Com cards in a machine and have two different protocols loaded simultaneously (one talking to each card)? Has anyone had experience with such a venture? Thanks for your help. Dave Kumpf hplabs!hp-lsd!davek
