3Com ethernet adapters... the real deal...

LetterFolders is selling these, if you are like me and can't seem to get alternate ones to work right... but they are kind of expensive ($40)

... but they gave me a finder's fee for locating non-refurbished audreys. If you know of any lying around that are new that they can buy, let them know and maybe they'll cut you a deal too... at least on the shipping.

BEWARE!!!
The guy emailed me saying they work great with Audrey & they had tested them. I probed a little deeper (after looking closely at the pic beside the description).
He replied and said the 3C460B.... WELL CRAP> we all know that one doesn't work at all. Hope noone hustled over there and bought a few.

Well Crap, here I was going to post that it looks like I found a source. This guy had better change how he has them listed on his website.

I just called them and they said that they worked with their Audrey.

If it doesn't work, I'll be sure to let you guys know. I hope that it does.

Here is a thought and a question: Maybe these will work if you update the software on the Audrey to the LATEST version? Is it possible that 3Com updated those adapters BEFORE they discontinued the Audrey? Why don't the 3C460B adapters work?

Hopeful and curious,

Poser,
If that's true, I'll be shocked. However, if it is, then try here for a bit of a discount (be warned, though, TigerDirect customer service is not that hot!). MANY users here tried the 3C460B with failure, even with fully updated Audreys since August or so. I haven't tried one personally since using jukebox's image, but I would assume it still doesn't work.
The 3C460 & 3C460B look very similar. Maybe they actually have the 3C460.
How did you find out about them, anyway?

A company called Shentech has Netgear EA101's for about $30 shipped (depends on your location, this is one of the few companies that hasn't hosed me on shipping). http://www.shentech.com
