G'day all,
Does anyone here use the above PCMCIA ethernet/modem card in their
Thinkpad?
I have a TP760CD and am having terrible problems getting the card to work
reliably. I have freed up some interrupts for the card and have had the
modem side working (no network connection to test it on yet) but it is not
consistent.
For example:
It works fine when the card is warm, but on first boot up on a cool
morning the modem responds extremely slowly to input. ie. In a simple
terminal program window to type "AT <enter>" and expect an "OK" response
takes forever. You have to press the letter "A" for near a second to
register, same with the other keystrokes.
When the card has warmed up fast keystrokes are accepted as expected.
I notice that the card is very hot after being used for several minutes.
Is this normal too?
Thanks for any advice at all. Particularly from anyone with a TP760CD.
Secondly - can anyone recommend a PCMCIA combo ethernet 33.6kbps modem for
use in a TP760CD?
