Yay!  Got it, installed it, it works great!  Thank-you, thank you!
 
I have yet to figure out how to get dos to pay attention to the modem
side of the combo card i'm using - probably just a matter of reading the
3Com instructions - but anyway i was more generally concerned about
getting the card services facilities before they're no longer available. 

(BTW, i'm not sure how meaningful it is, but i've had much easier and
quicker success on the linux side of my machine getting ppp fully
operational with the old (internal) tp modem, and with the new combo
card, than i have with netcom's software packages, or with standard DOS
facilities.  While my greater familiarity with the unix side has a lot
to do with that, that's balanced by the remarkable fact that the
unix-side infrastructure is all freeware - redhat linux is great! -
while the DOS/windows stuff is all commercial product (dos/windows,
NETCOMplete, the 3Com installer, etc), intended for use by people even
less dos savvy than i am...)

Thanks again!
