Ric, Most of PAO has been integrated into current trains of FreeBSD, I have run 4.1.1 on IBM Thinkpads and Dell 5000 series laptops. I have heard of others that have great success on Toshiba laptops. I would recommend that you just install 4.1.1 as normal. As for a PCMCIA modem, I can recommend the Zoom v.90 model 2975LA (and I have tried quite a few) as being one that works consistantly. It'll run you $100 or thereabouts, but I betcha can find it cheaper if you hunt. -Steve * ric&michele <tlhingan@asan.com> [001117 10:59]: > I am running FreeBSD 3.2-Stable on a Toshiba Satellite 2540cds laptop.
