Hi Voytek, I'd also be interested in an answer to this point, as I'm trying to get Wireless working on my Thinkpad as well. Unfortunately the version of the R31 model I have, does not have built in Wireless, so I'm looking at PC-CARD type solutions. I presume your T40 has built in Wireless from what you say (some versions don't come with wireless). I'm pretty sure it's only 802.11b (ie 11 Mb/s) not 11g. I have heard there are locations around Darling Harbour where a certain major telecoms company has their own internal office network wide-open and its possible to connect in and use it without password or encryption etc. I suspect the same can be said for other companies, especially smaller ones. Range would normally be fairly limited though. Are you setting this up under Windoze or eCS/OS2 ??

PMFax, on the other hand, did present a problem. Originally I would shadow thm to the desktop, then move them to a sub-directory under my main data directory. It seemed to work, providing you didn't rename them. These days, using the ever-reliable File Commander /2, I zip up the whole PMFAX directory, including the data files and burn it to a backup CDROM. Either RSJ or ACDCreator will work. I do this every week (along with my other stuff) as a full backup. Restoring is not a problem, although you may need to make a startup object (Ctrl+F6 on FC/2), and re-install the printer object. Hope this helps. If there's something I've missed, give me a yell.

I'm pretty sure it's only 802.11b (ie 11 Mb/s) not 11g. yes, built in. T41,or, this particular T41, does a, b & g but no bluetooth according to docs, some do have bt pity, I'd love to test my T3 with it > I have heard there are locations around Darling Harbour where a certain > major > telecoms company has their own internal office network wide-open and its > possible to > connect in and use it without password or encryption etc. I suspect the I'm picking up 3 networks at home, at this point, all require authentication see also http://mcdonalds dot com dot au/WirelessStores/ might go to McD this weekend, just to check it works OK > Are you setting this up under Windoze or eCS/OS2 ?? under whatever IBM put on it.... doze. not sure if OS/2 would run on it....
