I'm glad to hear that APM works! Of course, some of the devices (for
example, a SCSI adapter and two PCMCIA slots) appear and disappear when the
machine docks and undocks, and I don't know if FreeBSD can handle this. Has
anyone tried it?

I've put in a query about doing a driver for the MWave modem. But in the
meantime, I'm looking for a workaround that will get the modem to work
right away. 

Is it possible to load the DOS driver by booting DOS first and then
starting FreeBSD from AUTOEXEC.BAT? I've never done a two-stage boot, but
if this would be a workaround I'd like to try it.
