RealPort PC Card Does Double Duty
Xircom kit integrates 56-kbps modem with ethernet 10/100 adapter in single Type III PC Card.

Getting a LAN connection at my office was as easy as snapping in the network cable and making a few one-time software configurations. Once I was connected, the card's second pair of LEDs signaled that interactions with the LAN were working as expected.
And because RealPort is a Type III card, it will fit only in notebooks that have two stacked Type II slots. Otherwise the RealPort is a convenience you should grab--on the double.
