	Not quite.  ELNKII.OS2 is the driver for the 3Com EtherLink II,
i.e., the 3c503.  This card is completely different from the 3c505 =
EtherLink Plus.  The correct driver is ELNKPL.OS2.  Beware that there
are several versions of this driver floating around and some of them
have serious bugs.  You might want to get all you can find and try them...
(Based on the differing sizes of the ELNKPL.OS2 drivers, I am *guessing*
that some contain replacement code for the on-board cpu and some do not.
In general, I have had better luck with the larger drivers.)
