Greetings Joe,
JL>I am dealing with the same company, and my battery does not

JL>My laptop is also missing the plastic cover for the PCMCIA
  >slot, but getting through to Data-Path looked like
  >it would be more costly with all the long distance phone
  >calls on 'hold"than the cover was worth.
Ahh, another satisfied Data-Path customer!  You know, after I placed 
the order it was not shipped until THIRTY-TWO days after my VISA was 
charged, and then it was only after I threatened to challenge the 
charge and cancel the order.  It arrived Fed-Ex overnight.  What a way 
to do business.
I gave up on trying to get them to make good on the battery.  A search 
on the Internet yeilded a PA2413U NiMH battery, new condition, for 
$95.99.  Average price on these batteries is around $160.  The web 
address is www.4batteries.com and their phone number is 800-442-2288.  
I have no connection with D&D Laptop Batteries other than the fact that 
I've ordered from them.  Also, the price _included_ shipping as it was 
advertised on their web page.  Just FWIW.
  >like registering it again., so I am running a basic

  >dialup access.
I'm using a basic Warp 3 Connect (Blue) installation with TCP/IP from 
the IAK.  I purchased and installed Gwinn's SIO drivers so that I can 
use VMODEM to telnet into a BBS down in Upper Darby.  At home I have 
the "regional calling" long distance plan but that doesn't help when 
I'm mobile .  Tonight I was monkeying around with installing the 
drivers for my SyQuest EZFlyer parallel drive but it isn't working out 
well, cannot get the 4500C to recognize the disks.
JL>I do like the way the laptop shuts down the screen and
  >hardrive if you let it sit for a while or close the cover,
  >so I guess I would be happy with the auto-resume, but if it
  >gives OS/2 a problem, I will do without it.
Since I don't do image editing or other graphics related stuff on the 
road I can get by with the 16 color VGA drivers.  I'd rather make use 
of the resume feature.  If you do decide to play with that the driver 
can be found at 
   www.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/files/allfiles.htm
JL>I would like to find a cheap PCMCIA network card that
  >had a BNC (coax) type connector so I could occasionally
Good idea.  A friend may have one, he tried to sell me a PCMCIA network 
adaptor a while ago but I declined as I have no need.
  >me. Of course a good, cheap, 28.8 modem
I've been searching for a deal on one too.  In "Computer Shopper" 
magazine there is an outfit called NWCD (800-655-NWCD) and they list a 
closeout on a Megahertz 28.8 PCMCIA modem for $49.  They've also got a 
Xircom 10bT ethernet card for $69, doesn't say in the advert if it 
supports BNC.

  >would be nicer than the current 14.4, or maybe a good
  >cdrom... but I really don't want to invest a lot of
I nearly ordered a Panasonic KXL-D740RB 4x CD-ROM (PCMCIA, factory 
refurb) for $99 from NWCD.  This is Warp supported too.  I decided that 
the money could be better used elsewhere and I generated the install 
disks for Warp 3 Connect (Blue) from the CD-ROM and installed on the 
laptop with the disks.
Later,
Greg
