I have a very big suspicsion that the problem is the Home & Away NIC. I wish I never had one
of these (except for use as the 28.8 modem it has). I have the same problem, and haven't got any serious
crashes, but all of my desktop machines work (this one has problems using sharing because of an
install problem, but that's the least of my concerns).
Has anyone else had problems on their ThinkPad using NETBIOS and the crappy Home & Away
card?

Maybe something on usenet, but I don't even know any groups on usenet. :(
