RD - It did not have enough headroom to support the real system but the MSFT TCP/IP stack worked quite well. Maybe it hasn't improved since then? Here's some off the cuff numbers a friend put together : I went ahead and picked up the Xircom RealPort 10/100+Modem 56kbs PCMCIA card. It's a type III card so it'll swallow both ports. Not a big deal in my opinion. The neat thing about this card is that you can hook-up directly to the card with no dongles. Less things to break and/or lose. I opted for this card because it has the ability to do 100Mbs per second but not that I expect that performance but because I can get connectivity. Real important when I'm doing a swat call. I ran some tests using 10baseT with my old Megahertz card and this card and here are the results: Test Environment: ftp a 151021631 byte file Toshiba Satellite 200CDS/100 P1 @ 100Mhz Windows '95 - and - Linux 2.0.34 w/version 3.0.4 of the pcmcia-cs module Results: Windows '95 Linux per S per S Megahertz 10/28.8Kbs 465K 686K Xircom 10/100BaseT/56Kbs 685K 788K -justinb
