Jonathan,

The short answer is yes, but I no longer have the hardware.  It was a 
DX2-66 Chembook laptop and I imagine, although I don't recall for certain, that 
the LAN card was a 10 MB Ethernet card.  I sold it to someone who was on this 
list between one and two years ago.  If he's still on here, maybe he will 
contact you.
