I got my full-height's > at $150 (but they were pullouts from somewhere else) and older version. How do they compare to something like the old Xircom cards (now bought out by NetWave)? I'm in the market, and we'd like to find something that's cheap, but my initial impressions of the NWave cards are they are *extremely* slow and pretty useless for real work. (I got 5K/sec out of them with the base station and a laptop running Win95.) I didn't buy them, but they were bought because they were cheap/cheap/cheap. $950 for the base-station, and $250/PCMCIA card. Nate
