- I took a two pin plug and glued it to the back of the board with hot melt
- and wired down to the LEDs. I plug my turbo LED onto it so that I can see
- it flash when I'm sending packets. I've done this with all of the 386en

- used to it, you're a little startled when you go into a computer store and
- think they've got a packet storm going :-)
