Hmm.... The 2nd one is obviously a mistake since win98 has detected the card
as a PCI based DEC 21040-powered card like the venerable DE500, the first
one is talking about an ISA card and I don't know of any ISA cards that DEC
did, though obviously that doesn't mean they didn't exist :)

The first card I'm aware of is the DE100 which was an AUI/BNC switchable
EISA card. Also for the first one, if it WAS a DECnet card you certainly
wouldn't have been able to run TELNET over it and I didn't think DECnet had
ever been ported to the PC architecture until DEC themselves did a DECnet
stack as part of Pathworks/PCSA in the 80s.
