I am using v0.99H.  I just didn't realize it - sorry for the misunderstanding.

As I mentioned in a previous note, the card is working under Windows 95 - right
now.  My machine can dual boot into RedHat linux or Windows 95.  The card does
not, however work under linux.  I initially had thought it was the network link,
but after downloading new drivers (for win95) it worked.  This Thursday I'm
getting the room checked out by one of our network guys, but as I mentioned, I
don't think the link is the problem.  I *personally* think it might be a driver
incompatibility problem with my SuperMicro P6SLS motherboard - because I had used
all of the previous hardware (soundcard, cdrom, etc...) in a Pentium (166)
motherboard without any link problems.
