LTE 5380

by Compaq, 1997

Result: it works nicely, if I connect directly to the router. The PCIMCA card works. I can load/display websites. Even more so, if I use frogfind.com.

Leftovers:

  • [ ] connect to the LAN switch, so that the laptop does not need to be near the router
  • [ ] setup FTP, so that I can transfer/upload files to the web
  • [ ] find out how to reach local file storage on the NAS
