Even the T23 is not uniform. We have ones with the internal Intel 82557 ethernet
controller, the T23 is also available with an internal 3Com controller and, if I
remember correctly, there was a problem with that.

VMware is the only choice. Virtual PC doesn't implement the PC it says it does and
Plan 9 finds that out.
