I have been done NT with a Ethernet and ATM. Never used FDDI with any other
cards though.

Remember, this is on an NT box.  I have yet to see a Wintel box run more
than one type of nic in it, WELL.  I run ethernet & FDDI on my 6000, I have
never gotten it to work on a NT.  Any who have please respond.
