Howard, I think you are right. If I had the IBM part number, I'd put up an eBay
search for it. It's an mPCI card, and easily installable. But since I have a
lovely Cisco 350 PC card, I don't really need more.

As for the availability of 802.11b cards on eBay, it seems to be more and more
plentiful, not less. Just like good laptops for running eComStation, which seem
to grow more plentiful and cheaper. The T23 and T30 are quite good, and the T20
and T21 are very nicely priced.

It seems that these things are getting too old for some Windows users, and they
are dumping them.
