I used to be a big 3com fan, but I really now like the Intel Pro100B cards (for PCI) and the Netgear FA310 ethernet cards-- brand new ~ --$70, I havent' had a single problem, and the dongle looks pretty darn strong. Haven't managed to break it, anyway.

I have had not one problem with my card and it seems to perform well (considering I paid 30 pounds for it). I use it everyday at either 100 or 10 speed and can't say anything bad about the card, for its price. I would still would take the 3COM card though :) Alex -- ** ((__)) Alexander "Jim diGriz" Clouter \\ ((oo)) \\------\\// e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || || |||----||| ~~~ ~~~ equip : 300Mhz Celeron Laptop running Cow during an Debian Potato Linux Earthquake -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
