Hello, net
Can any of you tell me four things about the Ethernet adapters that can
hang off a PC printer port:

1) Is there only one (the DE 600 Pocket LAN adapter), or are there several?
2) Are there any problems known attaching them to a TI TravelMate 2000?
3) Do they/it support SUN PC-NFS?
4) Are there any known problems with them on loaded Ethernets
   (like broadcast traffic causing MS-DOS to fold)?

I am contemplating buying one, and want to avoid any obvious pitfalls.
Std claim: Shout at me, and I will post a summary.
