Do you get the Win95 mixer/volume control with the 755's audio?

I have pretty much exactly the same experience with my 360Cs running W95.
I have a 3COM 3C589 Ethernet in slot 0, and an Angia 14.4 FAX modem in
slot 1, and the modem is frequently not found after recovering from
suspend or hiberation. The 3COM card never has a problem. But since I use
the modem so infrequently, I've never really investigated.

I think that's unrelated, but normal; I expect that this is just that
Win95's PCMCIA drivers don't know or care about the ThinkPad's PCMCIA
status light.
