anything that a turing machine can't prove is
unprovable. kurt godel
I'm reading Douglas Hofstadter's Godel, Escher,
Bach, which is about
information, patterns, number theory, intelligence, and so on. I
implore everyone to read it, it is something any scientist ought to be
familiar with like the three laws of motion. Copyright 1979,
ISBN 0-394-74502-7. He wrote some more books after this one, but this
one is better. Two others I have read deal with the same thing.

New subject: I have this old network card: Artisoft Ethernet adapter
This is old 1991 16bit ethernet card:
model: AE-2/C
I would like to add TP feature to it as it has solder pads for this
part.
Any good about it?
Thanks!

Ah, my old favorite. This card will run under LANtastic 5.0 with
unlimited licenses (when you bought this card, you bought a license to use
LANtastic; if you bought a third party card you had to buy the "adapter
independent" version of LANtastic which was a limited license product).
As for adding TP to it, I don't know if there is also some hardware
modification you have make to enable it for TP operation.
The drivers for this card come with LANtastic 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0. All the
same I could get you the drivers, for LANtastic at least. I can also get
you a copy of the unlimited license of version 5.0. I don't know if any
drivers were ever written for it for Novell. Windows 95 has drivers
natively. My guess is that NT has them too although I can't check at the
moment. However, if this card is anything like the NodeRunner card (which
replaced the AE series cards) and can be configured for NE2000 mode, you
can only run it in NE2000 mode using an 8-bit interrupt (ie. 2, 3, 4, 5,
7).

I don't know about adding twisted-pair capability; I would think you
would need some sort of balun on the card, too. But yes, these cards
can run in NE-2 mode, and are supported by Windows 95, NT, Windows for
Workgroups, and even Linux. Most of my home network is using them in
that mode. I got a bunch cheap when a business here in town switched
to a different setup.
