Thinkpads *used to* use their sound system (MWave) for the modem (they are technically the same idea, just for different purposes) - not sure if that is still the case, but if it is, it is tremendously different from most any other winmodem. That said, I've heard people complain about trying to install *anything* on individual Thinkpads over the years - from IBM PC-DOS 6.1 and OS/2 through most Windows releases and the like - some have *very* non-standard hardware configurations. -- Mark L.
