Question 1, then: is there an electronic version > of the manuals? Yes. If your computer should have a DOS on-line reference. Look in the READIBM directory. If you don't have it I'm sure you can get it off the IBM BBS or IBM Denmark can get it for you (or someone can mail it to you although IBM might not be happy if we did that). It's about 1.6 MB uncompressed. > Question 2: can I download an English version > of the three disks I mentioned? (Do similar machines sold in > other countries come with different software?) Each disk has a readme file on it that describes the installation procedure. If yours are in Danish, I'd be happy to mail you the English readmes. Just find out which version of each disk you have so we don't get too confused. > And now that I'm here...

Megahertz and AT&T both make popular 14.4 PCMCIA fax modems (both have 16550 UARTS and really good support policies). Other brands are USR, Practical Peripherals, Intel, and several others. Megahertz has announced they'll release a 28.8 V.34 modem this Fall. Incidently, the Megahertz 1xxx series has a 16450 UART, while the 2xxx series has a 16550 UART. -- John H.
