Two questions on Thinkpad T41

[Per olof Ljungmark]

Dear mobile BSD folks,

I'm trying to get a Thinkpad T41 ready for the road and need advice on a 
couple of things:

1) The CDRW is apparently a problem. Using 5.2.1 I can boot with it but 
if I compile the kernel with atapicam it will crash on boot, similar to 
-current where I cannot boot at all with the drive inserted. I assume 
there is no way around this at the moment?

2) Modem. The built-in one is a winmodem and as such cannot be used att 
all. After digging around in the closet I found a MultiTech pccard modem 
  that is not in the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf list. Should I proceed 
anyway and try it?

3) What is the proper device name for a pccard moden inserted into slot1?

Most grateful for any suggestions here.
