    Holiday... No sweat... Love the avatar BTW...

    Sorry to close the thread on you but it was never really meant as a continuous thread.

    Yeah... Most don't use dial-up but might need the LAN... So you may want to keep the stock NIC... *Some* diagnostic units may need the modem or NIC to work... FWIW...

    You may want to think about Dremeling unless you are for sure... But then the parts are easy enough to get...

    Why not just buy one of the flush-fit PCMCIA cards that offer two USB 2.0 ports?

    I would hold out for the Billionton. You are looking for their older style... With the stick antenna that either retracts into the card or folds down beside it. I don't think the ones with the big bump on the end will fit into the card slot with the door closed.
