Just FYI, the newer models like my T21 have a new (Phoenix BIOS) Easy
Setup program with a lot more functionality compared to the 770, 600,
etc. series' Easy Setup. You can (de)activate the serial or IR port, set
power settings, etc., so no more need for PS2.EXE with these TP models.
(IIRC, PS2.EXE doesn't support them at all, although I havent tried -
but why should I?)

Great improvement IMHO, but unfortunately all ASCII based, therefore no
more flying birds ... ;-)
