Hello Lars;
I use the D-Link 707 and there does seem to be a problem.
I could NOT connect to it using any of several 10BT NICs - 3C905B
included. (ISA)
I had no problem at all when I put any of three 10/100BT cards in
my computer. (PCI) The cards that worked were D-Link, Soho (FE100A)
and Network Everywhere (NE100). D-Link was measureable the fastest.
I also finally managed to get a 3C515 (10/100 ISA card) but haven't
tried it in this box yet.
