Good deal! Treasure that battery, all of my 1400 batteries are long dead, can't even get through a boot. They are wonderful, solid machines. I was never able to get mine to hook to ethernet, but was able to get a wireless connection with an Orinoco Silver card.

Thank you!  The battery really surprised me, and I'm trying to keep it going as best I can.  Ethernet has been easy, and surprisingly snappy, with a Global Village modem/ethernet combo card.  I had the Global Fax software and the ethernet driver squirreled away on a ZIP disk somwhere and got the whole thing up and running in less time than I thought.  I've used the Orinoco cards in the past, but I don't have any at the moment.  Found a Farallon Skyline card that I might try at some point.
