3Com bought David Systems as far as I can tell. The official name for this particular adapter is "David Systems Ether-T Controller". It was actually manufactured by Gateway Communications for David Systems. The Gateway Communications version of the adapter is built a little differently but is functionally identical to this one. I don't know what became of Gateway Communications. The ADF above is for the David Systems variant.

What is the AT&T T7220PC used for? I see it on a quite a few older Ethernet adapters. Has anyone got a copy of the datasheet or other information regarding this IC?
