IBM laptop and wireless
I have an old IBM ThinkPad 770 that was refreshed recently with Windows 98, My wife wants to use it for email and a little internet searching, nothing else.
It has a dial up modem card only and I cannot find any wireless cards or adapters that will work with Windows 98 (1st edition), nothing. Is there a way to connect this old laptop to DSL with a wired connection? It worked great when I had dial up and is in perfect condition. I would like to get some use out of this machine. Thanks! |

Re: IBM laptop and wireless
If you use PPPoE for your DSL connection then the answer is yes. To connect the laptop directly to the DSL modem, then dial-in use RASPPPoE.
See my notes on this page: [SOLVED] I work for a small ISP for DSL and I need help Note that if your setup uses a router and you use home networking, it'd be a totally different setup (RASPPPoE wouldn't work). |
