I just got my 3 H&A LAN/modems from insight. The package says "Lifetime
warranty."
Now I need a couple of cheap hubs & some ISA LAN cards.
Interestingly, the Win 95 driver comes on a disk that was just inserted
into the colourful outer box, rather than inside the corrugated cardboard
inner box... with the cards and the cables.

I've heard from others that called IBM about the H&A cards. They will
support them, but it costs $150 or so an hour. At $25 they are an
excellent deal. I'm tempted to pick up a couple more, but don't know if
they work with Linux. I would want them for basically older notebooks
running Linux and doing dedicated tasks.
