The one I bought had ethernet/modem.  (The reason I replaced my card was
that the modem half had no Linux drivers.)

Do the X20s that don't come with the ethernet card still have the wired
port?  Maybe someone with a different model X20 than mine can answer
that one.

It's on the side, so the port replicator won't interfere with the CF
slot.  Same with the PCMCIA slot.  There are also two USB ports: one on
the right and one on the rear.  Unfortunately, they aren't USB2.
