I've had my Inspiron 7000K for about 2 weeks now. Very nice 15" screen. Thought it was *huge* when I first saw it, but now it just seems normal. In general I'm very happy with the machine. I bought the Xig X server for it and successfully installed it in my Slackware UMSDOS installation. But now, because the modem is a winmodem and doesn't work in Linux, I'm shopping for a modem. I may also be wanting to network the thing, so am also looking for an ethernet card. So what I am really looking for are recommendations for combo cards. I do not need fast (100Mb) ethernet, but if it doesn't add a lot to the total cost, I would go for it. I see on the PCMCIA hardware compatibility list at http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS : > Multifunction cards: [ Fully supported for 1.3.73 and later kernels ] > [3c589_cs driver] 3Com 3c562, 3c562B/C/D, 3c563B/C/D 3Com > 3CCEM556, 3CXEM556 [ NOT the 3CFEM556 ] > Motorola Marquis > [pcnet_cs driver] D-Link DME336T Grey Cell GCS3400 > IBM Home and Away > IBM Home and Away 28.8 > Linksys LANmodem 28.8, 33.6 > [smc91c92_cs driver] Gateway Telepath Combo > Megahertz/U.S. Robotics EM1144, EM3288, EM3336 > Motorola Mariner > Ositech Jack of Diamonds > [xirc2ps_cs driver] > Xircom CreditCard CEM28, CEM33, CEM56 > Any experiences or recommendations, please reply to the list. Thanks!
