I've installed on a couple of T20's (both with mdk9.2, however). The modem is a Linmodem, and the ltmodem driver worked. The Linmodem driver must match the kernel-version, so check to see that one is available (Google for the "ltmodem driver" before you install 10.x, if you need the modem. 9.2 needed some tweaking of the vid card (it was a Savage, I think), and I had to download the correct Xserver because the right one wasn't on the install disks. I don't remember where I got it, but Google was how it was found. 10.x may have the correct one, already. Everything else just worked. Install W98, then boot with the linux install disk and partition your free space for linux and install. It is a good idea to defrag Windows before booting to install Linux. A real good test for any install is to boot with a Knoppix disk (live CD) first. e
