    There are Deskstream HSTR switches with 10/100 uplinks, but they are
    mostly in europe. Most Deskstreams lack ANY uplink port :(

    I see my TR adapter has no use in Ethernet Lan and here isn´t any TR Network available!

    I´m looking for MCA LAN adapter for access to Internet in my home. I saw in https://www.ardent-tool.com/NIC/LAN that there are some MCA adapters with RJ45 connector in it like IBM Lan Adapter/A for Ethernet or 3Com 3C529-TP Etherlink III. I want to buy
    one if someone here has an extra adapter to sell to me. I own one TokenRing adapter but it doesn´t have RJ45 connector in it.
    Contact me by email: pertti.helander at pp.nic.fi or here if you have one to sell me.

    Not encouraging. XP uses a different driver type than Vista/7, makes my
    life more difficult. Plus, I'm running 64-bit, and I bet the XP stuff
    may be 32-bit.

    Better off torturing myself with a fondue fork...

    Torturing myself with T/R (Lanstreamer ?) to Deskstream with HSTR over
    to XP, then to the world.

    I run in my PS/2 DOS or Win95 or maybe OS/2.
    I have in my home network a wireless router with Ethernet RJ45 cables and WLAN and want to connect my PS/2 to router with Ethernet cable.
    So I need a MCA Ethernet Adapter with RJ45 connector but these seems to be quite rare and hard to find.
