toshiba has a long and colorful history of selling out to whoever waves dollars in its face -- which is why in the late 1980s toshiba was banned from all u.s. government purchases.
i have a portege 300CT. i would not have it had i known -- which means had the toshiba people told me the truth -- about the modem, which may or may not be a winmodem, but which certainly doesn't work under linux. (tech support, following the sale, suddenly decided that it *was* a winmodem, but toshiba tech support's sole purpose seems to be making the user go away.)
but they shall overplay their hand. and they will have an angry crowd uneager to extend mercy to them. good.
