Does anyone know if a Western Digital EtherCard PLUS 10 Base T
will work with ODT.

Thanks in advance.

It's not supported by SCO, but it should work.

What are the compatability groups for these ethernet adaptors?  The
ones supported by SCO, such as the 8003, do seem to be less common.
Why is that?  It seems that the general Novell style adapters are the
most common, for obvious reasons.

Is it the case that many are actually compatible, just not on the
officially supported list?

Are the 3Com type any faster or slower than the WD type?
