Re: Only 8Mb/s with a 10/100 card
PCMCIA = 16bit = Maximum of 15-20mbps throughput (this is a limitation of the 16-bit bus...) Cardbus = 32bit = full 100mbps throughput (as long as the rest of the laptop can handle it) PC Card is used interchangably between the two. The DFE-650TX is only a 16-bit PCMCIA card, and therefore won't get anything over 20mbps. Now why is the throughput at 8mbps? Your guess is as good as mine...

Re: Only 8Mb/s with a 10/100 card
This is not a problem with DLINK cards. This is true of ANY manufacturer's 16-bit PCMCIA card (Xircom, 3Com, Intel, etc.) Since there is no such thing as a "15mbps hub", or a "20mbps hub", it wouldn't make sense to call it a 20mbps PC Card. These kind of cards do connect to 100mbps networks, although they don't fully realize the entire bandwidth. If you want the full throughput, you need a Cardbus PC Card instead.

RE: PCMCIA
Try sending AT&F&W to the modem in a terminal program. This sets the modem back to factory defaults, and writes those defaults to the power-on defaults.

RE: megahertz ccxjem3288 multi-function supported?
Megahertz/USR only made 2 different EM3288 cards. There was the XJEM3288 and the CCEM3288. Both cards are fully supported in Debian (Modem & Ethernet). Jared Valentine [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- and lower down there was a reference for EM3288, which looks very similar, if anyone actually has this card and knows that it works, please advise because I want to be absolutely sure that the modem works before I wipe the drive.
