I have no idea. All I could find out was basically if the OS load fails
as mine did, the proper procedure is to call your 3com rep. I've heard
(well seen bits and pieces on the web) that they then send you a pcmcia
card (unsure if you're buying it, or renting it) for some absurd amount
of money. (well, to be fair, it's cheap if you pay the list price for
the unit, but when you buy them for $25.00 it's absurd)
