D-Link DMF-560TXD Ethernet PC Card and Modem (PC/Mac)

Summary: D-Link's DMF-560TXD beats all PCMCIA's with dongles.
Review: After owning two PCMCIA cards that broke at the dongle cable, I decided to try D-Link's dongleless PCMCIA DMF-560TXD. This was the wise choice to make because now I don't have to worry about the coupler breaking and having to replace it again. A new dongle cable costs as much as a new PCMCIA, so it's not worth having. The DMF-560TXD has plug-n-play for automatic installation, and it comes with lifetime warranty so I don't have to worry about ever buying another PCMCIA. D-Link's DMF-560TXD is great!

Summary: Easy to use.
Review: I bought this card for use with a Mitac laptop, I chose this one because the prize was among the better compared to xircom and others and because it doesn't use dongles which the majority of those laptop cards did, back in 2000. I have used Win 95, 98 and Me with it and it works allright. The biggest problem using Me is the fact that it sucks up 50 % of RAM, but I don't recall any troubles with the card and Me..

Summary: This seems like a nice adapter, but...
Review: This adapter does not work with Windows Me. Although it appears to have all the features you want at a really nice price, the D-link card is not a good value. In comparison to a premium card, such as Xircom or 3Com, the D-Link card uses 5 volts instead of 3.3 volts, which drains a portable PC's battery much faster. Also, the D-Link card does not have cell phone hookups or a global modem, which limits its use even further. Finally, the company's web site has sparse technical data and the phone technical support department operates on a 'call-back' system that very rarely returns calls.
