We all run on T23's at the labs.  If you can get one at a fire sale, it works
fine.  Ours have crufty 1024x768 screens but Russ had one with a 1400xsomething
screen which seemed a lot nicer.  We don't know how to run the soft modem though,
I bought a pcmcia one for $30 at compusa.

LANL has had a T23 running Plan 9.  Both Ron and I have run a T21 with
the same S3 chipset.  I had it dual booting FreeBSD and Plan 9.

	http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/lanlp9/newnetwork/term.html

Unfortunately you won't see any info on how to get the T23 running on
the page above, but it should be similar to the T21.

The RADEON driver is something I can't comment on, since I don't have
my laptop working with it.  If Philippe Anel has the time and patience
it would be helpful to have yet another radeon laptop to test his
driver on.
