[NCLUG] Re: pcmcia ethernet cards cheap?

[Daniel Herrington]

I got a 3com 3c562d (10BaseT and 33.6 modem PC card) on Ebay for
$19.99 + $4.50 shipping from Denver.  Should arrive tomorrow,
hopefully.  Since I'll be going through cable-modem, the 10BaseT
should have plenty of bandwidth... no need to splurge on a 100Mbit
card.

Regards,
   Daniel Herrington
