I installed the card in my last teaching assignment at a middle school.

Clone 386SX with 2 MB of RAM and 120 MB HD.

Didn't do that...a secretary typed in absences to autocall out to
absentee homes.

A lightning strike killed the card after about we had it about two
months...make sure you buy the insurance on it. Technical support was
excellent...we had a new card the next day airmail.
