When we (you and I) were at TSG, we used 3com 10/100 PCMCIA cards and they
worked without issue at both 10 and 100 speeds.
I actualy have one that Kristin's work was throwing away (and a tiny hp
pentium I palmtop thingy [no floppy or cdrom though]), but I don't have
the dongle. I also have a 33.6k PCMCIA modem card (with the dongle) that
I'd be willing to sell cheaply.
You're welcome to both. And any other eqipment I have (most of it I'm
willing to give away free just to get rid of it) - my only requirement is
that you come and pick it up.
