[Thinkpad] Re: [T23] Mini PCI Modem Question

Thanks, Aryeh, I'll keep that link in reserve.

I'm not troubleshooting, I'm just trying to collect (on my
600E) the latest drivers that IBM suggests one should use on
the T23, and then migrate my lovely 40GNX drive to the T23.

Unfortunately, IBM does not adopt a consistent naming scheme
between (for example) its ThinkPad Configuration utility and
its Modem driver download matrix at:

http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-40312

Sadly, this is typical IBM. The left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth. Can be great in Ethics, at best a "C-" grade
in the world of Computers.
