Thanks everyone for replying and helping ... Especially hector taking the
time for that long explanation... And had I mentioned that this PC is
connected via modem, I would have saved him a minute or two ...

So .. I guess 2nd card is not necessary .. And as soon as I have access to
that PC again (tonight) I will try to set that up .. Would be very cool !!

Thanks
