You have exactly two brands to look at for dongle free PC Card or CardBus network cards. Xircom's RealPort line which are Type III thickness, some have modem and ethernet ports on one card and they also have a line of mix and match cards where some have their port on one side and the others have it on the other side so they can both fit into stacked slots. The other choices are from 3Com/Megahertz/USR with the pop out X-Jack connector. X-Jack has moving parts and is more vulnerable to damage if the cord gets yanked, but they're all Type II thickness and can be used with any other card with a port or dongle that is offset enough to not be in the way of a cable plugged into the extended X-Jack. Most memory card to PC Card/CardBus adaptors fit completly into the slot and won't interfere with X-Jack cards. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
