- | The OS/2 TCP/IP package comes with the NDIS drivers for the 3COM card.

- Not quite. ELNKII.OS2 is the driver for the 3Com EtherLink II,
- i.e., the 3c503. This card is completely different from the 3c505 =
- EtherLink Plus. The correct driver is ELNKPL.OS2. Beware that there
- are several versions of this driver floating around and some of them
- have serious bugs. You might want to get all you can find and try them...
- (Based on the differing sizes of the ELNKPL.OS2 drivers, I am *guessing*
- that some contain replacement code for the on-board cpu and some do not.
- In general, I have had better luck with the larger drivers.)
