I have 2 3Com pcmcia cards in 2 Thinkpads, not the same number as yours. One has a modem, the other not. Both are 3Com 3CCFE575CT Tornado and use the 3c589_cs module and work great. If you ever find a way to get the modem working, I'd like to hear how. :-) :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) Wayne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
