Mike,

Here at wollongong we are working on a driver for the 3Com 
Microchannel card. We will be looking for Beta test sites 
shortly.

One feature of our product which may be usefull to you is the way 
that our hardware drivers are selected, loaded, and unloaded. 
This is done dynamiclly by the network applications at run time 
as opposed to requiring drivers to be loaded up at boot time or 
linked into the .exe file. This allows the user to change devices 
without rebooting the PC or use multiple devices at once. It also 
greatly simplifies supporting new devices. If you are interested 
in this contact our Product Marketing Manager, Sue Trombetta 
(415) 962-7100 or mail to sue@twg.arpa.
