The 901 should be just fine for the digital modes.  I have the ASUS 1000HE 
which is just about the same computer except for the hard drive vers the solid 
state memory and a few extras.  I have used Digipan and several other programs 
for psk31 with no problem.  Runs mmtty fine.  If you do not have a usb to 
serial port adaptor you may not be able to control the rig.  Some of the 
interface units come with the adaptors for this.

It does not really take much of a computer to run basic psk31.  I have ran psk 
31 with some 200 mhz desktop computers years ago.

I got my Asus netbook at Radio Shack, it runs Ham Radio Deluxe for rig control. 
Works great!

I use CAT5 network cable for all the desktops here, but put in a WIFI access 
point for the little netbook.

Yes, I have the eee 901 with 20 GB SSD. It came with xandros but I switched to 
easy peasy (ubuntu). I use it when travelling so I have pskmail with fldigi, 
xastir and all kinds of stuff... Also, I use it for navigation so I have 
Seaclear with bsb charts for the baltic sea. Also use hsdpa 3g card for 
wireless access. It works great, I could not be more happy.

  That is a good price. I wonder if it has enough computer power for some of 
the powerful digital mode programs.

I just bought an ASUS EeePC 1000HE.  Haven't tried to use it on digital
modes yet, but using it for general computer stuff, it seems to be plenty
adequate.  It also comes with a 9-hour, 6-cell battery, so it will run for a
long time.  The 1000HE is a little bigger, has a 160MB hard drive, and a
slightly faster processor than the 901.  It is currently the top rated
netbook.  FWIW.

That approach gives you the most versatility, but I'm going a different way
for PSK field work -- the NUE-PSK digital modem.  It has it's own LCD screen
and processor with software for PSK and a few other modes in the firmware.
It draws 60 ma without backlight, 80 ma with, so it will give many hours of
QRP PSK using a small battery for it and my 817.
 
The curent sale price is $150 kit, $200 assembled from
http://www.nue-psk.com/.
 
But a real PC like a Netbook would allow a lot of other portable activity,
but without quite as much time betore the batteries run down.
