Has anyone out there had any success with getting the DLink
DMF-560TXD DirectPort (or even the 560TX) card to work with a
PowerBook 1400? From little blurbs in their documentation I gather
that it has been done. However, DLink no longer supports or
recommends this combination. Unfortunately, I found this out after
already taking delivery of the card. And it works so well otherwise.
So even if I have to jump through some hoops and mumble a special
chant, I'm willing to experiment. Any ideas, suggestions, drivers or
firmware out there? Or some generic PC Card drivers that can be
user-tweaked to recognise a card of my choice?

I suspect that if I can just get the "thing" that does the
recognition of the card as a valid PC Card then I can hack the rest...

BACKGROUND:
The DLink DMF-560TXD is a multi-function PC Card that provides a
10/100 NIC, 56K modem and FaxModem on a single-slot card that uses no
dongles and leaves the lower card slot free. It is multi-platform,
multi-OS, multi-NOS, etc.

While recommended for the usual plethora of WIntel stuff and for
PowerPC Mac laptops, this seems to actually mean only 3400, 2400 and
G3 PowerBooks...
