burn it, jump on its charred remains and dance.

i vagueley remember an old thinkpad that i once had with an mwave modem that
worked under os2, for linux there was somthing about starting it up via dos
then booting linux with loadlin (or was that the sound?)

decent credit card modems arent hard to get really, mine just shows up as ttyS3
:-)
