I have spent far more hours than I would like to admit trying to get this to work, but cannot get a working Ethernet connection on my machine. NCU does, indeed, work via the serial connection, but I want the speed of Ethernet. I would devote more time to this if I knew it was possible.

Yes, I have gotten this to work... *once*. I did a full backup of my
Newt, including my 10MB card, over ethernet, to NBU. Unfortunately, then
I wass messing with either the BasiliskII settings or the MacOS settings
(don't remember which now) and I can't connect anymore. Grr. I think I
messed around with Open Transport or something.

(This is on the Win32 version of BasiliskII - I also tried the Linux
version, which worked for a little while and then promptly took down my
*entire* Linux workstation - oh well.)
