There is no plug and play or APM in NT 4.0 (I'm running it as one of the two
OSs on my CX right now). There doesn't seem to be any NT 4.0 support for
Thinkpads, yet, either, and I don't know if the current NT utilities will run
under 4.0. Be forewarned that it takes more memory than 95, but it's also more
stable.

Run Linux (the other OS I run on my CX)?

ssh
