Bzzzzzzzt Wrong, would you like to try for what's behind Door #3?....

10BT and 100BT are both supported via USB Hardware type dongles on
just about any Mac that has MacOS 8.6 or higher, when the USB Inits
and drivers are installed. I have used USB/Ethernet dongles on Desktops,
Ibooks, Powerbooks, and even thru a USB PCMCIA card in my 3400....
This is being sent from my Wallstreet 300 via a USB PCMCIA/USB/Ethernet/
Dongle that I use because the Ethernet Port is connected to a seperate
subnet, right now. Would be nice if you actually KNEW what you were
talking about.


Me who wonders where these guys come from.......
