Thanks.  I was omly interested in the modem port, as the lap-top already 
has builtin ethernet, so that's not a concern.

Whilst I have your attention, I take it that USB modems (as long as 
they're not winmodems) are supported too?  I'd rather not have to use an 
external modem (because I need a plug-pack as well) or the built-in 
winmodem, so I'm tossing up between a card and USB.
