I have never had a problem with 3COM etherlink III cards in WIN95 (or
3.1 or OS/2--which is why this PC Card belongs in the PC Card Hall of
Fame). I have run WIN95 on a 755C, CD, CE, and CX with the 3COM card and
it has worked fine--so it is possible and usually painless to configure.
I beleive that the best interrupt to use is 15, but don't hold me to it.
I would remove whatever options you have in place (other PC Card, etc.,)
until you discover what is causing the conflict.
Good luck.
