There is normally no NIC in these systems.
Just a modem and a proprietary interface card that allows me to
communicate with the equipment out on the plant floor.
If I want to access the company network I remove the modem and insert a
3Com NIC that I carry with me.
Not many people in my group even have network logins.
The others are maintenance personal that use these laptops for
troubleshooting.
