in any event, mine don't seem to get hot..

i've had 3-com cards in there too..

in fact, the ibm (xircom - no surprise here) works really well..
machine finds the network every time.. from suspend, hibernate and disconnection
when i walk from one place to another..
its rather surprising that it works so well..

the #$%^&*&^%$ing 760ED can't find itself, ever, well, almost never, on the LAN, but
it can find the other machines..
(its using a 3-com card, but i think thats not its problem, i think win95B is the
problem on that machine..)
