[Gllug] PCMCIA nic/ Modem S/H source

[George@College]

Hi,
	thanks for that the college bought 3Com and guess what they are fine for 
them but not us LINUX bods GRRRRR. I have found someone selling them now @ 
£40.00 + P&P for the Xircon double height nic / modem. 
 	IF any one else wants one drop me an E off list and I will pass the info on.
