Re: [Thinkpad] 600E-600X problem CLARIFIED

AGAIN
The PCI Serial device should be the modem, it is different than the 600E
modem
The PCMCIA slots probably need to be properly configured. Download the
attached file, pcmcia.inf
RENAME the existing PCMCIA.INF to something else
Copy in the new file
DELTE the PCMCIA slots, then refresh, or reboot, or add new hardware.
