If you can boot Windows on the system, the command is "ps2 se enable" for sio0 and something like 'ps2 imo enable' for the internal modem. Use ps2 ? to help confirm the exact command. If you don't have Windows, you can download a bootable floppy version of ps2 from the IBM web site. Note! The Windows ThinkPad Configuration Utility will NOT do the job. It enables the port on the running system and saves the setting in the registry. It does NOT update the BIOS setting in ROM. R.
