Good NIC selection?



Hi,
 
    We have a windows network and I'm trying to set up a Linux intranet email-server. 
 
    Right now, we have in the computer a COMPEX RL2000A-PnP card.  Since there
are no jumpers or switches, I think that it is probably automatically Plug-N-Play, which
may be a problem.  But maybe not.  If anyone knows which driver and which settings
are appropriate, I'd like to know.  I am aware that the IO address is supposed to be $200-$2B0,
but I've never gotten the card to work on a non-Win95 system.
 
    But all is not lost.  We do have other cards available.  If anyone recognizes a card and
remembers some of the settings (and/or jumper settings), I'd like to know that too.  Other
cards we have include: 
 
NE2000-Compatible with Win95 Settings 0, Int 3, IO #300-31F
NE2000-Compatible with Win95 Settings "Current Config", int #11, #300-31F
3COM Etherlink XL COMBO 10 MB  with all settings "Not Present"
REALTEK RTL8029 with no user settings
NE2000-Compatible with no user settings
IBM Ethernet Adapter (PnP Mode) set to Auto, Not Present, Not Present
 
Anything look possible here?  If you see one, I can swap the cards and bypass the problem.
