Also, any development software, etc, someone may have put together for such cards. Why? I suggest that you use either a packet driver, or an NDIS driver. That way, your software will work on many, many cards, rather than being limited to just two. Here's how to get the packet driver collection: -russ ps: BTW, 3Com wants $1,000 for their developer's toolkit. The Clarkson packet driver collection Availability The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by archive-server, and by modem. They come in two flavors -- executables only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip). All of the following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip. Mail: I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K 3.5" disk. I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a purchse order and I will bill you for $22. NY residents add 7% sales tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping. If you send a check, please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.
