It appears that 3Com has no interest at this time to publish the programming
information for the 3C450 HomeConnect NICs, which come with the newly
released HomeConnect Kit.  I don't know if it has anything to do with 3Com's
alliance with Microsoft.  Can anyone with more experience with 3Com cast
some light on 3Com's general policy on providing programming information on
their cards?  I have been stoned-wall left and right.
