I need to use two pcmcia slots on a laptop, a FireWire and NIC. Unfortunately most of the commonly available NICs now have the RJ45 connector built into the NIC which either takes two slots in the case of the Xircoms, or has to be in the top slot for most of the others -- as do the FireWire adapters I've seen.
The only dongle-equipped NICs I could find at CompUSA were a couple of Belkin units, one 16 bit, the other CardBus. I just tried the CardBus unit, and it worked perfectly with Caldera 3.1.1 Workstation, identifying itself as ``SMC1211TX EZCard 10/100 (RealTek RTL8139)''. I'm not real fond of RealTek cards or dongles, but at least it works. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
