There are several LAN card manufacturers that make LAN cards that 
are hardware compatible with the Novell NE1000 and NE2000 cards.
For example, 3Com, recently announced its NW1000 card which is a 
NE 1000 clone. Other clone cards are made by Artisoft, D-Link, National 
Semiconductor, CNet Technology Inc, Networth Inc, Telebyte Technology
Inc, and probably many other companies. 

My question is does any one have any information on the degree of 
compatibility of these cards to the cards produced by either 
Novell or Anthem Technology Systems ? 

Anthem is the vendor that got the business from Novell when they 
stopped doing hardware. 

Will all drivers written for the Novell NE 1000 or 2000 work on any 
or all of these clone cards ?
