I'm waiting for my T20 to arrive from IBM - maybe I should have ordered
>from Microwarehouse? :-) ...

I just updated my order on Monday to include the combo card, which hadn't
been available from IBM until the weekend.

It would be helpful in the future if people specified whether they are
running Win2K or Win98SE, since things like network support, suspend
features, etc. may be different for each OS. I'm upgrading from NT on a TP
600 so I ordered Win2K on mine.

Thanks,
Andy
