It was a pain to set up in Win95, but works great. I bought it as a "make do" modem/ethernet card and have been happy with it. I am finally replacing it with a 33.6 Motorola Mariner [on the way, should be here tomorrow] and will try that out on the road next week. > I also hear that 3COM makes good products with OS/2 support. > They're expensive, but tech support is friendly, and they have a > lifetime warranty on all their products. I would have preferred to buy a 3COM, but since this Mariner only cost me $129 + S&H.... =) www.onsale.com also has the 28.8 Mariners going for about $100 even with a 10bT cable. I got 33.6 and both 10bT and 10b2 cables in my package. It was worth $20 more IMHO. I hear 3COM has better Linux support, but I don't me see sticking Linux on my TP560 for a few years if ever. > Do any OS/2 users on here know a lot about networking?

I have my desktop running Warp 4.0 sometimes [boot manager] with a 3COM Etherlink III. That is all I've ever done with networking OS/2. Well, I networked with Warp 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 on various incarnations of that same dektop. ============================================================================ ==== Steve Parker ==== San Luis Obispo, CA ==== Multi-OS & Multitasking ==== ============================================================================
