Be careful here: I have a t21, wonderful in almost all respects,
except the modem won't work under linux.  IBM ship these machines
with different "mini pci" cards in them.  There are two varieties
of modem on these, and mine is the 3Com one.  The ethernet support
for the card is just fine, but there is no linux support for the
modem.

So I use a PCMCIA card modem.  Same card, in fact, as I used on my
previous 600e, which I had before the mwave drivers were released
:-).  Plus ca change.
