Hi Jeff,

The RealTek 8009 is the winmodem of the network card world.  Basically with
this card, the computer CPU does EVERYTHING, including verify checksum headers,
compare masks etc etc.  The win9x driver I believe loads the firmware into RAM
for this card too.  For an ISA based system you'll have much better luck using
an Intel, 3com, Atlantic or AMD based chipset where the cards at least have
the firmware on the cards.  I think you're out of luck on this one.

	Mike
