Hi Voytek,

   I'd also be interested in an answer to this point, as I'm trying to get Wireless
working on my Thinkpad as well. Unfortunately the version of the R31 model I have,
does not have built in Wireless, so I'm looking at PC-CARD type solutions. I presume
your T40 has built in Wireless from what you say (some versions don't come with
wireless). I'm pretty sure it's only 802.11b (ie 11 Mb/s) not 11g.

  I have heard there are locations around Darling Harbour where a certain major
telecoms company has their own internal office network wide-open and its possible to
connect in and use it without password or encryption etc. I suspect the same can be
said for other companies, especially smaller ones. Range would normally be fairly
limited though.

  Are you setting this up under Windoze or eCS/OS2 ??

Cheers/2

Ed.

Hi Alan et al

Mozilla I'm not sure of.

PMFax, on the other hand, did present a problem. Originally I would shadow
thm to the desktop, then move them to a sub-directory under my main data
directory. It seemed to work, providing you didn't rename them.

These days, using the ever-reliable File Commander /2, I zip up the whole
PMFAX directory, including the data files and burn it to a backup CDROM.
Either RSJ or ACDCreator will work. I do this every week (along with my
other stuff) as a full backup.

Restoring is not a problem, although you may need to make a startup object
(Ctrl+F6 on FC/2), and re-install the printer object.

Hope this helps. If there's something I've missed, give me a yell.

yes, built in. T41,or, this particular T41, does a, b & g
but no bluetooth
according to docs, some do have bt
pity, I'd love to test my T3 with it
