Avoiding ISAPNP <shudder> is the main reason I took the steps I did to
manually set the I/O and IRQ.

Which still leaves the question of what to do with that 486.  It served
me well
for many years.  My new plan is to use it as a caching proxy.  With only
one
ethernet card I should be able to get things to work more easily.  If I
put
NetBSD on this box, would that allow me to avoid that horrible ISAPNP
package 
that linux forces on us?  Anyone?
