3Com certainly intended to discontinue the 3C501 at some point, when they
introduced the 3C503, and I've heard the same stories of 501s being hard
to get.  However, I recently heard a rumor that one of 3Com's big OEMs refused
to port their code to the 3C503, and that the manufacture of the 3C501 may
be continued, for a while anyway.
