Can anyone point me to ethernet interfaces for laptop computers? In particular, I'm interested in something that will work with a Toshiba 3100. And perhaps as important as the hardware, does said device work with the NCSA telenet/ftp software, either directly or using a packet driver? Please ack via e-mail as I can long read this newsgroup via a remote login to Hawaii from Boston. Thanks in advance.

Saw an interesting ad in LAN magazine, August 89, page 98, from a firm called XIRCOM, interesting device called POCKET ETHERNET ADAPTER: parallel port on one end, Ethernet BNC on the other end!! Ad shows a laptop connecting to a thin Ethernet. Phone number in ad says 818 884-8755 Woodland Hills, CA. Sounds perfect for any laptop!! Just passing on what I read, no hands on experience myself.
