Networking :: compaq 1220 w/ciyrix and pcmcia

Hi,

I have a compaq 1220, very old, it now has 64 megs ram and 2.1gb hdd. I believe this box has a old 16bit pcmcia slot.

I would like to get a ethernet card for this box. It could be just a 16 bit wired card, but the newer the better, but if it going to be supported better being that it is old 10baseT would be just fine.

I want reiability not scarificed by anything else, if I understand right are all carbus backwards compatiable? If not aren't many people's spec on this site stating that they are using wireless cards on old old laptops?

I would like a card that would be out of the box supported, I have tried to search this but it is hard to find info on what will work.

Would also be nice if it had usb unless it known to have problems.

I live in canada and most of the good stuff is in the U.S and shipping it here for this old box is expensive.

Could you possibly name a few models so that I may try to find them up here.

Many thanks. DSL is very cool. Probably one of the better ideas I've seen lately. I will promise to help with some modest financial backing as soon as I get a working system. Thanks to all who help this project.

I am not patronizing I really like DSL

Ok anyone know any good chipset that are supprted out of the box

So noone knows of one hey. Strange, didn't know that there majority of ISPs have dialup customers.
