Well, a number of the machines have 1400x1050 displays, which obviously require different config files. That's the case for my T22, for example. > The T21 that I have has both the modem and the network card (the > latter uses the Intel chipset... some models come either without a > network card or even a 3Com based chipset).

This is different from a PCCARD or CardBus controller (and, incidentally, much faster :-) > You may want to look at the Xircom 16-bit PC Cards (even the original > 16-bit Real Port Ethernet works great... got one working on an older > Toshiba with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE). Yes, I also have a full-height one with a proper RJ45 connector. It's not nearly as fast as the on-board Ethernet, however. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
