Well, I happen to be in US. Just got a request form for developers info. 
Unfortunately, it is going to be a generic kit for all EtherlinkIII 
cards, including 3c562.
BTW, 3com customer support is a bunch of drones, and not very advanced 
for this matter. It took me 30 minutes and 4 call forwards to make the
idiots understand that I do not, in fact, run Windows95, and I do not, 
really, need any drivers from them, and no, I do not need promotional
information either.
