I believe the T20 series (including the T20, the T21 and the newer T22)
use the same video chipset (which is an S3 chipset). I have been able to
use the SVGA drivers for it without any major problems (some of the
video modes don't work, like 24-bit on my T21 @ 1024x768).

The T21 that I have has both the modem and the network card (the latter
uses the Intel chipset... some models come either without a network card
or even a 3Com based chipset). The Intel fxp driver works fine on mine.

You may want to look at the Xircom 16-bit PC Cards (even the original
16-bit Real Port Ethernet works great... got one working on an older
Toshiba with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE).
