[DuoList] Wired Ethernet for 2400c woes! Argh!

[BG]

I have used two different cards 10 base T in the past with great  
success, The Dayna Communications "communicard" (PCENet W929) and the  
Global Village 56 Kbps Modem/ethernet Card Model A959.

If you are Cardbus enabled the CompUSA house brand 10/100 card is only  
19.99 and comes with Mac driver but does not say it on the box,
