Very encouraging, Gary. Since I have already installed Linux (MDK 9.1)
on this laptop before, I know that the correct drivers for the Winmodem
are easily had and installed. Video and sound worked fine with that
distro, as well. However, I wasn't able to get stability (locked up
after a length of idle time), I couldn't get APCI to register, nor could
I get the O/S to properly step-down the Intel CPU. If got that far, and
if so, did WBEL do so auto-magically or did you have to configure both
laptop BIOS and O/S? Just didn't seem to want to work for me in MDK.

Thanks for replying to my post.
