    supported under win,linux and solaris ..

    Type III will take up 2 normal PCMCIA slots.
    If both the 3com and Xircom are CardBus I can't see much of a problem with either (Xircom do a pretty cool one ("Realport"?) that has fullsized connectors on the card, rather than a nice breakable Dongle).
