It's the 3Com, the one they used to suggest you buy.  It recognises that the
adapter is connected, and gives me the options to configure it, but neither
doing DHCP or assigning it a static IP address allows it to do anything on
the network.  I need to get un-busy and try again.

That's what I was thinking, but $600 is VERY expensive.  I've found a couple
of neat little controllers for under $100, one that includes C source code.  I
don't use windows for anything at all, so I'd need specifications or sample
source code.
