Been using them for a couple of years (100B).
I haven't tried the 100+ yet, it should work fine.
Only drawback is they are o the expensive side. Of course, compared to the
3Com's they are cheaper.
I've had good luck with the Infotel 10/100s from Midwest Micro. They are
(were?) using a Digital chipset that worked great under the tulip
drivers. I hear some manufacturers are starting to use a ripoff of the DEC
chipset as Intel is phasing them out (gee, wonder why?)/
