I have one here at home, and have a few machines at work that will be
somewhat idle after next week that have various 3Com PCI Fast Ethernet
cards in them...

On a side note, I noticed that the 3Com NT/9x drivers for these cards from
3Com's own site not only have media selection to them, but also duplex
selection.  This comes in handy because a few of the switched port hubs
and routers we use sometimes don't kick the cards into full duplex like
they should when duplex mode is set to auto (yes yes, I know that the PCI
bus could never transfer data fast enough to fill up 200MBit/s, but thats
not the point!  8)
