Steve C.,

I have two questions:
1) Do you know what the -2 part of 600E-2 means. According to the IBM site (from the link on the
compgeeks site) the 600E comes in three flavors.

2) Do you know if the USB port is useable with eComStation?

PS I'm looking for an inexpensive, non state of the art laptop that I can connect to my home LAN
(OS/2) and to the LAN at school (NT4). While the price of this one is attractive, perhaps a different
model that has built in ethernet would be more practicable for my intended use. That would save
having to keep track of a dongle for a PC card. Any suggestions?
