Jungle are awful - I once bought a cheap win-modem for my sister's P166, 
and at the end of the installation procedure, it told me that I needed 
an MMX processor for the card to work. The manufacturer had gone to 
great lengths to stop you from working round it, too. Jungle wouldn't 
take it back, even though they conceded that there's no mention of MMX 
in the list of requirements on their website.
