A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (actually, it was on 31-May-99), the great prophet William Woods once wrote: > OK, I have a Toshiba Laptop and would like to purchase the following: > > 1) I am looking for a decent (supported) 56k pcmcia modem. > > 2) An ethernet card > > I dont have a lot to spend and am useing the stock pccard.conf that came > with 3.2 Almost any 56K PC Card modem will work for you. As long as it is NOT a 'WinModem'. I personally prefer the US Robotics Sportster cards -- reasonably priced, quite capable and speedy, handles bad phone lines well. But it's up to you. As for ethernet, I recently bought a Netgear FA-410TXC card. It's 10/100Mbps (supports both protocols!), and was quite reasonably priced ($70 at Circuit City, of all places!) Works very well for me, I use it with Win98, Linux, and FreeBSD (yes, I really have 3 OS's on my laptop). --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> | PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
