[ForSale-Swap] Swap Laptops for Stuff

1. I need a PCMCIA modem that works reliably with Linux, esp. Redhat9 on 
my laptop.  (I tire of hours spent trying to get supposedly 
Linux-compatible hardware to play nicely together.)

This is supposed to be a reliable list:

If you like classics I have a working Tandy 1100FD laptop I'd be willing 
to swap, and will include a Ham accessory for the right modem-nic.

2. I am also interested in wireless nic hardware, also Linux friendly, 
and have a working older Toshiba Satellite T2105CS laptop I could swap 
for that. (I need one nic to have an external antenna connector for 
experimentation with long-distance links.  I'd like to get into Ham 
activities with wireless Internet on 2.4 or 5.6GHz.)

3. I'd be willing to swap three laptops and a complete desktop setup 
(cpu box, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.) for a 400MHz (min.) 
laptop loaded with Redhat9 or SuSE Pro9 and dual-booted with Win98 with 
all devices working (esp. incl. internal modem & nic, or bypassed with 
included pcmcia devices).
[Laptops: Tandy 1100FD, Toshiba Satellite T2105CS, Tadpole 1300G.
Desktop: 233MHz cpu and usual desktop features]

How's that for horsetrading?!

Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e
