I've had the same 3c589c throughout, but I've used various modems - all of which took about 10 minutes each to setup (I've had bigger problems setting up the NIC with a new laptop, but this has turned out to be things like not disabling the IrDA port on a CTX Cybernote). Hot-unplugging the NIC sometimes crashes the machine (~5%), but if it can't be helped, so be it. I bought a Compaq Presario a while ago with a Cyrix MediaGX chip and promptly brought it back because of the apm/timer problems. All-in-all, I'm a happy laptop user ! > Satoshi -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
