USB Sound Card
I am not the one you pinged,
but here's a pong btw: SoundBlaster Extigy USB card appears pretty good. Should run in any computer with a USB port. Probably sold in most places, even office supply stores. It's a bit pricey, over $100 but has good specs for most purposes. Just buy it where you can return it if you're not happy or it doesn't do whatever you are expecting it to do. If your computer is on the slow side, a bit retarded like mine, and you have too much running, then the USB sound card will cackle a bit when it chomps down on the CPU: a sort of electronic hiss-spit with gremlims |

If they're both fitted with network cards or onboard networking all you need is a crossover cable. -- Adrian A House Is Not A Home, Without A Cat. |
