HotSwap
This card supports HotSwap on a PC Card computer that is running
Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket
Services. This feature allows the PRO/100 PC Card to be removed from
the computer, temporarily replaced with another type of PC card, then
reinserted without loss of the local area network connection.
Power Management Suspend/Resume
Power management features such as suspend/resume are supported by the
PRO/100 PC Card on PCMCIA systems running Windows 95 or Win-
dows NT, or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket Services. This
means that when the computer enters a reduced power or power saving
mode, an ongoing local area network connection will remain active for the
period of time allowed by the network operating system
