Actually, you've described the Xircom mini-PCI combo, which uses an Intel
ethernet chip and a Lucent modem chip.

IBM has completed Linux certification of the ThinkPad A20p, and I expect
the certification reports to appear on Linuxcare's web site next week. As
described in the certification reports, video is supported using XFree86
4.01, including the 1400x1050 resolution used by the LCD.

I don't know squat about the 1600x1200 LCD's, so I won't comment on those.
