I am a volunteer assisting several of our public schools in their Internet
and intranet wiring and implementation.

All of thses schools run Netware 2.2 servers with Token-ring topology.
Many also have 3.11 servers with either Token-ring or Ethernet (usually
10BaseT) and IPX (802.3, of course).  The Inter/intra-net technology is
all being installed with 10BaseT Ethernet.  There is no IP ... The Cisco
IPeX allows the single District Gateway to do all translation.

The district is planning (bridging/routing?) of the 2.2 network's with
the 3.11 Ethernet networks via addition of a 10BaseT card in the 2.2
servers.  (Note that there is never but one per school)

It is the schools responsibility (so far, only one has done it, and their
NIC and installation was done several years ago) to purchase a 10BaseT NIC
suitable for the MCA servers and suitable for the Netware 2.2 OS.  I, in
general, recommend 3Com as the NICs of choice.

What is the best alternative; is the 3C529 supported by 2.2?  Neither
3Com's nor Novell's site seem to have any information.

Thanks
