| a "media coupler", but we all know it's a dongle... :) The CT has BNC and
| RJ-45 connectors.
Ahh... CT is for Combo Twisted pair.

| me.
Yep, my 110uA is correct, with a high spike of 130uA . That's the
difference between a high-end card and a low-end card.

3Com part number is 3C-PC-TX-CBL
| Well, I see this as an inconvenience rather than being in favor of the card,
Well, you need a length of twisted pair anyway, and this plugs right into
the hub, which is very convenient. The standard 6" dongles still have
clunky jacks on them. It is not as bad with the 3Com dongles as the D-Link
dongles, but still....
| but the D-Link 660-CT also comes with a 6" dongle with BNC and RJ45 plugs.
| Who uses coaxial Ethernet nowadays anyway?
I know a few people who do. It's cheap, if not free.
