This is one of several responses I've gotten telling me that they use
3Com cards.
Well, we had a card that was a 3C562/563 Ethernet & Modem PCMCIA card
that, despite spending several hours poring over the 3com website and
reading the readme files that came with the drivers, I could not
determine what driver provided the necessary "packet" compatibility.
Perhaps, they are labeled as something else, or I do not know the
3-Com terminology well enough.
Can someone provide a clue ?
