Hi there, I am using a USR WorldPort PCMCIA Modem in combination with a 3c589 ethernet adaptor in my TP755C without any problems ... Hmmm, stop ... there was one litte problem: Depending of your Linux-Distribution you might need to add 5 to 10 sleep seconds at the end of the batchfile starting the PCMCIA Services. If the time ist missing you might get some problems with the batch file starting TCP/IP, because the PCMCIA devices might need some additional time to initialize. The rest works out of the box for me.
