Anyone know what "supported list" is being referred to? Resnet/IS's? 3Com's?

If we're talking the IS support list, seems kind of not right... it being
dropped due to its high price yet it's now currently selling for an amazing
price (albiet not through the MCC).
Or is 3Com replacing the III with something else?  Sorry if this question
was already answered, but I must've missed it.

>Again, it is not supported by IS. Let me know if you need the #.

Well, I just noticed that the Etherlink II and III have been taken off
the 'Recommended Ethernet Adapters' list.  I can understand the Etherlink
II going away, but it's a pity that the Etherlink III will no longer be
supported.
