Hi,

thanks for your comments on this card, good to hear !!!

But what I don't understand is ... why one has to use the
sio (serial ?!) driver with this card ??? This makes me wonder !

I assume one can only use one card in a Laptop at the same time ??

I noticed one has to place the RJ-45 plug in a 90 Degree angle
onto the PCMCIA card connector. Right ?!

So 2 cards one over the other won't work or am I wrong ?

Another thing, do you think that this X-Jack construction is
stable enough ???
