- Network cards with the type designation 3c509 from 3Com, has been a very popular series. Several have Coyote Linux with such network produced for example in 1989, almost 20 years ago. We've run these cards in three years with Coyote firewall without any problems. Once you have managed to get them running, they will probably run for a long time. But it is sometimes difficult to get the cards to work. This is because they have an ISA bus. This means that important addresses (IO) and termination messages (IRQ) must be handled manually. This is done automatically with PCI cards. But using one ISA card requires extra effort. IO and IRQ on these cards can be handled by an old DOS program. This can be somewhat difficult to obtain, since this is almost 20 years old software.
