	Thank you.  Unless the Dell Latitude I've ordered (with FreeDOS)
has two network cards, I'm hoping not to have to bother with wireless
networking.  I ordered the one with an RJ45 jack, so I'm hoping not to
have to.  I only plan on using it as a backup system, and for telnet
installations and diagnostics.  I'm also trying to build a Core-2-Quad
system with, hopefully, fileserver components.
