Just to sound like a broken record, MSU surplus 
has a number of older 3Com cards (along with 
a recent boxload of ISA Linksys and no-name 
brands), and still have some PCI Linksys card 
(as of 7:30am this morning).

	My favorites are the 3coms.. I've got a bunch of 3c509s and
590/905's.  The PNP ISA versions are software programmable so I can always
work around conflicts without dealing with jumpers or buggy PNP BIOSes.
That, and you can find the 509s for around $5 ea.
