You are aware of the Eval/promo pricing ?
Visit 3Coms site and start browsing. The "normal "price " of $170 is too high.
I paid .....~$119 -$99 over 2 years ago.

Subject: [TP380D] PC Card Recommendations Needed...

>Greetings,
>
>I have recently acquired a ThinkPad 380D and am quite pleased with it
>(I got a good deal). I plan to run Linux on it roughly 80% of the time
>and Windows 95 roughly 20% of the time. What I'm looking for are
>recommendations that anyone may have on a good Ethernet PC Card and a
>Modem PC Card.

>Specifically, I'd need a 10Mbps Ethernet Card with support for both

>Linux and 95... though I will be using the Ethernet card almost
>exclusively under Linux.

>And the modem... I'd like 33.6 right now ('cause the V.90s seem to be
>too expensive yet). It'll be used mostly under 95 and occasionally
>under Linux.

>From a cursory look at what's available, I'm leaning toward the 3Com
>Etherlink III 10T/BNC combo. I have no real preference on the modem

>So, I'd appreciate any feedback (positive or negative) about PC Cards
>you may have used.
