Ohhh, last night I though I found a great deal on eBay when I did a
"buy it now" on a 3Com 3CXE589ET for $8.00

I have a Proxim Skyline wireless card that works great in the Newton
for email, but troublesome for connecting to my 9600 for backups and
software installation. Since the serial connection is slow, I thought
the 3Com card was a cheap and speedy alternative. I did a quick check
of the archives, but did not spot any comments about this card being a
problems.

Could someone enlighten me?

Nancy
