What speeds do you get? I got about 37K on mine, under Win2K, but I have
one of those new 3COM 10/100 and 56K combo cards, and I get 49K with it,
even from my apartment (which I normally thought had bad lines because I was getting
31.2K with a hardware modem).

If anyone gets a PCMCIA modem, 3COM seems to be really good.
