@thejpster Almost off topic, but in #1997 my secondary school (in #Poland) had access to Internet available for every pupil. We needed more terminals, so some old #286 PC booted over the network so people could telnet to their sever accounts for #IRC and #FTP. We were lucky to have a few #3Com Ethernet adapters with boot ROM sockets.

El 12 de junio, se cumplen 28 años de la fusión de 3Com (Ethernet) y US Robotics (Módems) en 1997. Una unión de $6.6 mil millones que buscó dominar la red, ¡pero la velocidad de Internet los superó! #retrocomputingmx #3com #USRobotics #HistoriaTech #dialup #90s

El 11 de noviembre de 2009, 3Com y HP anunciaron que ésta última compraría a la primera por 2,700 millones usd en efectivo. HP completó la adquisición em 12 de abril de 2010. Justo el mismo día que se celebrara el aniversario 36 de la creación del ethernet, inventada por Robert Metcalfe, quien fundó 3Com

Any network people on here who know if this old thing is still worth anything? I have no clue as I'm not familiar with network equipment at all.

From a quick lookup of the model number on eBay, there seems to be quite a few being sold for around €35-40. Might try that on a local marketplace.

This morning was spent in the back yard, browsing the web on my #AppleNewton #MessagePad2100 using a #3Com EtherLink III 3C589C PCMCIA card connected via Cat 6 RJ-45 ethernet cable to my #Netgear #Nighthawk #M1 mobile router. Fast, stable, and no need to run a weak-encrypted WiFi network or run a _loooooooong_ ethernet cable!
