The 3Com® TokenLink® III Micro Channel® Token Ring Adapter
(3C629B) is a 16-bit network adapter. It can be installed in any IBM®-compatible
UL®-listed personal computer with a Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) bus.
This adapter offers bandwidth and flexibility by supporting both
4- and 16-Mbps data rates over shielded and unshielded twisted-pair wiring
without requiring an external media filter.

TokenLink SmartAgent™ software. Driver agents for this product are supplied on
the TokenDisk™ diskette.

o They can be downloaded from the network operating system.

service (BBS).
