Go to http://www.computers4sure.com
They have the Linksys 10/100 56K modem for ~$139 plus shipping.
I got one last week for this new Dell Latitude CPt and it is running great under Suse6.1.  I just made sure the pcmcia
module was loaded and both parts of the card came up fine.  Haven't tested 100Mbps yet though.

Oh yeah...
2.2.7 kernel

Also,
got X running with SVGA server using 24bpp @1024x768.  Really is nice.  I did not need the framebuffer support as I
thought.  Just specify to the Xserver the correct addresses of the video since it finds the sound addresses of the
chipset first.  I'll post the XF86Config when I get a chance.  I don't want to mess with the Synaptics TouchPad package
since it is pretty alpha right now and the PS/2 mouse driver works just fine.  Got APMD working after recompiling and
including support.  I recompiled for a i686 arch and am noticing some speedup.  Can I recompile the Xserver for i686
with little trouble?  I imagine it is precompiled as i386, right?  This is alot of fun being able to play with
compilation of the OS!  Has anyone had success with a controlling the fan in laptops other than Toshiba?  I found that
package but couldn't find any others.
