I have an IBM Home & Away Fax/Modem/Ethernet card (14.4k modem
10mbs ethernet) on my wife's laptop.  It comes with OS/2 drivers.
I've seen it offered NOS for about US$20 recently.  Installing it
on my wife's Compaq Contura Aero was a bit of a trick since it
either has the floppy drive in the PCMCIA slot or the
modem/ethernet card but not both, and the installation program
likes to boot and run from the floppy disk.  I ended up making a
bootable "DOS from drive A:"  image on the HD and running the
installation from that.  The modem function was fairly easy to
configure; ethernet was trickier but works now.
