I'm not happy with Xircom; I think everybody knows why (if you don't, send me email). There are alternatives to their products, made by D-Link. D-Link's products are cheaper, and there is a packet driver for the DE-600 thinwire adapter (at least). I have found D-Link to be a very responsive company. For example, they supply a sticker for their internal adapters that explains the jumper positions. This is unusual, and very handy. USA UK International D-Link Systems, Inc D-Link (U.K.) Ltd.
