NIC = Network Interface Card, just a standard network card
CrossOver = A special kind of ethernet cable designed for connecting two
devices directly together instead of using a hub (which used to be
expensive)

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm *too* green -- what's an NIC? By
straight-thru or cross-over cable I'm assuming you mean ethernet? Using
the PDA adapter-thingy mentioned by another listmember? I checked one of
the 2 websites posted yesterday for finding things like ethernet cards but
the one site couldn't find a match for farallon period.
Will keep checking in between feeding 10-mo.old twins @;-)
