[ltp] New Thinkpad Advice - X models

[nut megger]

As a newbie I would VERY much appreciate you sharing,
step by small step, how you did it.  I still have my
x21 with an ultrabay sitting in my office loaded with
fedora care 2 and I am still UNABLE to dial out with
my external modem connected to the serial port. 
Thanks much!
