Hey Sean, About a year ago I ordered a 3COM 3CCFEM556 (with out the 'B') for my L70, and never managed to get it to achieve a transfer rate on my dialup connection of more than 2.3 - 2.4 K Bytes/sec after extensive tweaks and testing. 3COM tech support couldn't help me, though they insisted that it had a hardware controller, and was not a WinModem. My posts on it are in the archives (http://www.technoir.nu/libretto). Maybe the 'B' version will work better. But you might want to check to see what re-stocking fees are before. >Any recommendations on a card that will work and that hopefully is >available economically? Well, I ended up with a Xircom CEM56-100 combo card that I got at AxionTech for $56 + shipping. But I see they're not stocking them now. Maybe try Ebay. The Xircom has a problem though, in that it's driver conflicts with the Toshiba power saving drivers in Win98 during boot (Don't know if I've tested it in Win98 on the L70). I just have to remember to pull the card out when I sut down the system. Have found that putting the system into Standby (and thus hibernation in Win98) with the card in, the system will wake up with the card working fine. I have to warn you that a lot of people have had problems with Windows' hiberation though, and devices no working when waking up.
