Will that work for the T23 also?

| As far as I know, no one manufactures a "real" hardware modem on a mini-pci
| card, they're all software-based modems.
|
| For the A21, IBM also shipped a Xircom (now Intel) ethernet/modem combo
| card option, the modem is Lucent's Winmodem, which does have a driver here:
| http://www.heby.de/ltmodem
|
| If you call to order it from IBM, just make sure you get the one that was
| originally on the A21 series, the newer Intel combo cards have
| Lucent/Agere's SoftModem, which does NOT have support (yet).  As was stated
| in the certification reports Linuxcare did for IBM
| (http://www.linuxcare.com/labs/certs/ibm.epl), IBM is working with Agere to
| get a driver available for Linux, so the SoftModem should have support
| sometime soon, too.
|
| I hope that helps some,
|
