I have a 730 which is the same machine with a larger disk and faster CPU.
I had some problems initialiy with the modem. After using the modem under
Win95 I did not have any. I may also have changed a number of other
things so Win95 may have had nothing to do with it.
I am currently running 2.2-BETA with the PAO-970111 patches but I also ran
under 2.2-BETA. I enabled APM in the kernel. I do recall the screen
blanking with no recovery but I believe I was running a kernel with the
APM disabled.
