Introduction/720C owner in Austria



Hello everyone!

I've been the proud owner of a TP 720C (old, but good!) for a couple of 
weeks now. After some negative experiences with Win95 I installed 3.11,
which proved to be the ultimate OS for this system. I tried to install
Linux on a small partition, but the MCA bus and PCMCIA hardware turned out
to be a bit of an obstacle, so I postponed this plan. I use the TP both
at home and at work connected to a LAN. Software that proved to be useful:
- X server (demo at the moment) for working on Unix boxes
- ssh-win (demo at the moment too, will not buy it - too expensive)

Configuration: TP720C with 4MB internal, 4MB IC DRAM card, 160MB ESDI disk.
PCMCIA: ne2000 compatible adapter (OVIS), MRT Image Wizard frame grabber
card.

I'll be looking for more memory and perhaps a sound card and CPU upgrade
possibilities in the near future, so any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Also, I'm interested in EMM386.EXE options for more high memory (the PCMCIA
controller and card drivers take up much conventional memory), at the moment
I use FRAME=NONE, which seems to work fine.
