I made a very similar request a few weeks ago, except I wanted a
10/100Mb + 56k card. The result was quite a few recommendations for
the Linksys EtherFast PCMCIA card. I've had the card for a couple of
weeks and it's worked flawlessly under Debian and WinNT. Under potato
I just plugged it in and it was running from then on (I had the
networking configured already).
I have not had occasion to try the modem part yet though, but that's
of less importance to me.
The price was also good at about $120. Considerably less than the 3Com
equivalent, which uses a WinModem to "reduce" cost?!
