3C905B what? There are a number of these, and I don't really know the
difference.The most recent ones I've bought personally are
3C905B/TX(something) and they work great. I've got a few old
3C905B(nothings) that are so hosed I can't get them work properly with
Windows but they'll work with DOS. Don't know if there was ever a
3c905(nothing). After my bad experience with the old ones I swore off
3com until recently.

To be honest, I think what got wrong with 3com in the windows world was
that 3com bought Palm, which put them in competition with MS, so the
drivers mysteriously got mangled. But I'm not one to speculate. (Oh! I
just did.)
