We're running FreeBSD 3/23 snap on a Latitude LX. We don't have enough space to run X, but my guess is that it'll have to use the SVGA server, since it uses Chips & Tech video. > I'm > considering one of the new 800x600 display versions, the Latitude XPi > P90ST.

The modem we got with the LX was a relabeled Megahertz, and we bought a 3Com 3c589. If you use 10BaseT only, it's pretty cheap; the 10B2 tranceiver is big bucks.
