Hi Dave,

I would go for the 3-Com. I have used heaps of 3C509's (ISA) and several
3C905's (PCI) and they all worked fine. It wouldn't hurt to visit the 3-Com
web site and pick up the latest driver for your card as well. OS/2 comes with
3-Com drivers but it helps to have the latest. The PCI 3C905's are superb, no
jumpering, no manual configuring, just plug them in and load the driver via
MPTS.
Hope this helps........pk.
