1. the pcmcia problem appears to be a card services memory clash that is 
probably peculiar to the CD versions. So long as the diskette drive is in 
the ultrabay the ethernet card works fine, but if the cdrom drive is in 
place then my ethernet card is turned off. The solution is to 
specifically allocate shared memory for the pcmcia card and at any 
address *except* 80000.

2. suspend only turns the lcd display off, not the cpu. So the battery 
keeps draining. The only way I seem to be able to get a proper suspend is 
to shut the lid whilst on mains power, then remove the mains cord. Which 
is fine provided I don't actually want to use the thinkpad during the 
journey .....

3. the mwave/dsp problem only affects non-US/Canada users of the internal 
dsp modem. Previously we had a separate diskette to set up the telephony 
functions; it is no longer required and will stop the modem working if 
you install it.

4. boot partition of 200Meg is not big enough to include java .....(not 
being a pentium, I did not even try to install voice-talk) ....  

Other than that it seems fine, and has one huge bonus over Warp Connect; 
I can now remove the ethernet card whilst the machine is running, and it 
continues running. Previously, that was an instant trap requiring reboot.
