Last I asked around in May, Xircom "is likely to be one of the last supported due to their combo card not conforming to the Feb95 revision of the PC Card Standard for multifunction cards. They use a vendor proprietary method that would require writing new drivers for both the modem and the lan part." This was for Solaris 2.x x86. Dump this card and go for something else, eg 3COM. -- Kai O'Yang, PSCIT, Peninsula Campus, Monash Uni, Frankston, VIC 3199, Australia. email: oyang@fcit.monash.edu.au Tel: +61 3 9904 4615, FAX: +61 3 9904 4124 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
