Welcome to the new IBM AIX PowerPC Thinkpad mailing list!
Brian Jepson's old list at as220.org appears to have been killed and I
cannot get a hold of Brian at his old email. So now we have a new list
which I will be administrating so it should live forever!
Post anything you like regarding IBM PowerPC Thinkpad notebook computers.
Try to keep the discussion mostly to AIX and hardware related topics. A
little Windows NT and other OS discussion will be tolerated but is
discouraged.
Have fun!

On my web site, goto the firmware link. Download the latest SMS. Write
it to floppy.
Put it in the floppy drive (I hope you have one!). Even if you don't,
try the F keys below.
Boot the computer. Immediately after power on, start tapping F2 (or
maybe, F4, F5 or F8, I can't remember!). It should take you into the
BIOS/CMOS setup type thing.
In there, set the boot device to CD.
If it was set to CD already, then your problem was elsewhere. If it
boots from CD but fails after a while with an error code, you could have
faulty hardware.

See http://www.tecnopolis.ca/aixtp/tpmodem.html
If anyone has further info, please let me know.
Your best bet is to find IBM modems that are 33.6 or slower. Make sure
they are not "combo" cards (ie: with LAN also).
