I am also interested in whether the mwave modem in the TP 701 can handle
foreign lines. Will it work in Asia? (as well as Europe?). If it's
required, how can I get a telephone kit for compatability?
Maybe it would be worthwhile to just get a pc card modem.
Also, is the 701's mwave upgradable to 28.8 like the 755?
And, one more question, does anybody else have a 701 that seems slightly
rounded-- warped I should hesitate to say-- so that it wobbles a bit when
flat on the desk?
Thanks in advance! What a great machine!

This is easy!
The ThinkPads are made by IBM, the other by Micron.
That alone should explain to you the real reason for the price
difference. ;-)

As far as I can find out, the answer is No.
The 701 has a programmable DSP that handles modem & sound, but it
is *not* the IBM "MWave" that is in many of the other thinkpads--limiting
it to the existing 14.4K.

Recently a client went to England and Scotland on business and
he was unable to connect to the telephone system so that he
could dial into his ISP and to send and receive faxes.
I would appreciate it someone could advise me/us as to how they
have their modems set up to handle the European telephone systems.
He has an Apex 28.8 cellular fax/modem and an IBM 28.8 fax modem.
Are there any particular codes that should go in the initialazion
string for the modem.
How do people who travel to Europe deal with this problem?
What about Asia? Any advise??
Currently, all modem functions work fine in North America.
Thanks very much for all responses

There is currently a proposal for the newsgroup rec.music.white-power,
an attempt by neo-nazi racists to legitimize their activities. It is now
in the CFV stage, where anyone with a valid e-mail address may vote.
"White power" racist music is not a legitimate form of music deserving of
a separate rec.music newsgroup, but rather a political group masquerading
as a musical one. And, the rec.* hierarchy is inappropriate because rec.*
is for recreational activities, and racism is anything but recreational.
But, most importantly, we must show the racists that they will not be
granted a mainstream forum in order to promote hate. If you don't want
a Usenet where minorities feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, vote NO on
rec.music.white-power. Let's make this a crushing defeat for racists.
To vote, send e-mail to music-vote@sub-rosa.com and put
I vote NO on rec.music.white-power
in the body of the message.
The actual CFV can be found on news.announce.newsgroups,
or by sending a blank e-mail to music-cfv@sub-rosa.com.
Voting ends 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Mar 1996, so act quickly!

Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is Shyamala Raperjee and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.
Sincerely,
Shyamala Raperjee

who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join
and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for

It's not a magnet, it's a ferrite jacket to reduce the emmision of EM

I'm all for that approach, mailing list spam is on the rise, and shows no
sign of abating.

Don't know about the 701 but I used my 755CD in Frankfurt last week using
Win95 and the MWave modem and had no problems (except for the fact that I
had to switch to pulse dialing because of the companies ancient PBX).
Oh, and also when dialling from the Hotel Room, the modem wouldn't recognise
the dial tone (it's rather strange) so I had to dissable dial tone detecton
on the modem.
[AT&X= or ATX=)
I'm English, and we use 701's and 755's over here (US and UK models) so
there should be no problems there.
>IBM says you need a telephone kit if you want to use these modems on the

The German Telecom Telephone connectors are a little strange (they have two
lines available on one plug [fax/voice]), but you can buy a US-RJ-11 jack to
German Telephone Jack for hardly anything. Then just plug in your modem and
dial away.
If you have MWave 2.xx it's also worth d/ling the European modem update.

Sounds like you need to install the MWave software (it is not included with
WIn95) in order to make your modem work. Either install 2.xx for Win3.11, or
look at the MWave site (http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/) and download 2.10 for
Win95.
Install this, and you should have a functioning modem.

I think you're correct in saying that they can share the same interupt, but
cannot be used simultaneously. This is how COM3: and COM4: function (sharing
interupts with COM1: and COM2:)

I pull mine out and swap it for the CD-Rom while running all the time.

You've had several responses to this so far, but one I haven't seen...have
you
checked the BIOS revision level? If you have not applied any BIOS upgrades
to
the machine, then the 701 will not have the Plug and Play support. Use Fn-F1
to get into the system information utility, then page down three times to get
to the right screen. The latest revision level is BUTUS3O (that's oh, not
zero). If you do not have access to the BIOS upgrade, you can get it from
the
IBM PC web page. When we first migrated to 95 we had all kinds of hinky
hardware problems until we got the BIOS upgraded. Hope this helps...

Subject: frustrations with thinkpad 701
Hi all, perhaps someone can offer some assistance. I just installed
win95 (onto a clean hard disk) on a tp 701, and have the following
questions:
1.) floopy doesn't work when multiport II is plugged in; works fine
when standalone. I've tried various interrupt settings and
so forth. Any ideas?
2.) when I try to use the modem (when running hyperterminal), I select
the internal 701 modem, but then when I say dial it asks me to
"insert the modem". ????
3.) Am I correct in assuming that the serial port and modem port
cannot both share interupt 4? Or can they, as lone as one
is serial_1 and the other is serial_3 -- and I don't try to use
them at the same time?
4.) Is the floppy hot-swappable/hot-pluggable?
Thanks! I love the machine, but this sure is frustrating...

if you do this, keep the volume on the cd rom very low & amplify the sound
with
the thinkpad volume control. you don't want to send an amplified signal into
the 'audio in' or 'mic' port. it'll probably never sound as good as just
plugging speakers into the cd rom, but that should help.
