| Yes, it works. I have the D-Link DE660CT card and it works fine with the
| ATLAN drivers on the Newton.
What is the difference bewteen the DE-660 and the DE-660CT, anyway?

| I didn't notice an exceptional battery drain from it.
Normally, my MP2100 has a draw of about 60-65uA according to Avi's Backdrop
(I'm not entirely certain of the unit measurement). This spikes up to
about 110uA with my 3C589D live. The DE-660 is a little higher than that,
to my recollection. Mine is not handy, so I cannot check it, sorry.
One thing in favor of the 3Com card: you can get 6' dongles for it. These
have a Honda plug on one end and an RJ45 plug on the other, and come with a
RJ45 gender changer, just in case. Price is about $9 from CDW. I think
you can use them with the Farallon cards as well, but I have never tried it.
