Works great; all you need is a PCMCIA enabler shim, which is very few lines of code to write, especially if you have doc's for PCMCIA. Most of the network cards are NE2000 compatible. Should take you half an hour. It also works with anything else PCMCIA if you code things right (or one network card exactly if you do it wrong), including FAX modems and SCSI interfaces for things like tape drives. 8-).
