Description:

Do you need a PC Card that offers instant connectivity to multiple PCs over a home's existing telephone lines or over a regular Fast Ethernet connection? The answer is the HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 network PC Card. The 16-bit PC Card's coupler is equipped with two standard RJ-11 telephone ports and a 10/100 dual-speed Fast Ethernet port. You can connect to any 1 Mbps HomeLink network or any 10Base-T/100Base-TX network without swapping cards.

The card fits into any standard type II PCMCIA slot, leaving room for a 56 Kbps modem or other PC Card in dual-slot notebooks. You can share Internet access via a dial-up or cable modem or DSL connection, as well as files, printers, and CD-ROM drives at 1 Mbps without interrupting regular phone service. Since your HomeLink network runs on regular telephone cables, there's no extra hardware to buy. Just plug it into any standard wall jack and you're networked.
