I recently received the ATonce board with adaptor for my 2000. At first, I couldn't get it to work; then, I got it to work for 1 or 2 minutes before the screen would hang up. Finally, I was able to get on-line with it, only to find it will still crash at random. I found some of my initial problems were due to not having the board pushed FIRMLY down into the adaptor board (also, I had to remove my SCSI interface board, and put the ATonce in slot #1). So, I have checked everything: the modem, the cables, the software, and I just don't know where the problem lies, EXCEPT the bit in the manual that says that I MAY need to upgrade my 2000 board if the Rev is older than 6.2. Well, my is 4.3, and I have been told it will cost $900 to upgrade! So, I'm better off getting a real PC, if I can get my money back from Montgomery Grant!
