Save yourself some trouble and money and get a 3Com card from ebay -- mine
was $20. As long as you have the right driver, which is downloadable, they
work just as well as the Farallon card, but cost much less. I don't think
you can use the internet with a 110 and ethernet -- were you planning on
just using it for connecting to a Mac?
Planetnewton hasn't been updated in quite a while, by the way.
