It started up and showed the card at 0x300 and IRQ 9, but then kept 
locking up.  So I'm going to try it on a network connection, if I just 
knew what it's set to I think I would be happy with that.

Oh, I did try that this week! :^)  A couple $15 Linksys NC100 PCI 
cards from Office Depot.  I could *not* get them to work with E-smith 
even with much finagling.  RedHat 7.0 install disk wouldn't see them 
either.  (According to the tulip.o docs, you can compile this module, 
but the gcc that comes with RedHat 7.0 is "experimental" and broken.  
You have to use kgcc, which I didn't have on my test 7.0 box.  Btw, is 
that KDE's gcc?)

Lesson learned: buy known, supported, (probably) more expensive NICs!

Thanks!
