I'm not familiar with the G series; the T series are the ones that are
still officially supported for OS2 (at least last I looked) and while the
infernal modem is a bummer, you will probably have better luck with the
ethernet and the sound.

May I suggest the nb2discuss list at yahoogroups - someone there may have
some knowledge of the G machines.

There's also a general thinkpad list - info at
http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad

there are a couple of people there who have good reputations for selling
stuff including older machines still with some warranty.  Delivery might
be troublesome if not in the US.
