I have another variant of the X20 a 2662-31G. This comes with the
mini-pci Lucent winmodem but no NIC. There is a binary driver
available from IBM (works great & easy to install) at the following link:

(or just search IBM support for 'Linux X20') I have read several
accounts of people have success with the GPL Lucent drivers but I
haven't got round to trying these myself.

I bought mine second hand a few months ago & I must say I am very happy with
it. All the features work flawlessly under woody, and I take it everywhere
with me.
