Re: Xircom Cards
I've got a 16bit RealPort Ethernet/Modem combo card, which works just fine
for the most part (on a Toshiba 490CDT). The ethernet is practically
flawless, but sometimes the modem disconnects. However my guess is that's
the ISP that's doing the disconnecting, not the modem.
I've heard CardBus cards (32 bit) are known to be sometimes flakey, but if
you've found the ethernet card to work fine, then maybe it'll keep working
fine with the modem.
