| subject: | [OS2HW] hardware problem or soft? |
I've had an Intel combo NIC/Modem PCCard on my old ThinkPad for about a
year and turned the TP on 2 or 3 times a month during that time.
Recently I found my network failed. More recently the modem quit, then
started running oddly.
Oddly? It connects to my ISP at the usual speed. After that it is
sending constant short TXs and getting rare spikes of RXs. Mozilla
gives me time out messages on all URLs.
Hardware? Time to find another setup? I'm thinking of moving from the
770E to a T30. That would have much more speed, integrated comm, less
weight, etc., and still not necessarily cost an arm and a leg. (I don't
spend anything on arms and legs nowadays. ;-) )
(Now, everywhere I ask about this I get people telling me to upgrade
even further, in spite of the fact that this is merely a backup machine
for when my desktop goes down. Suggestions?)
