That is, simply put, completely untrue.

The person at IBM was blowing smoke up your as......... skirt!

I've got five thinkpads here (600X, T21, T23, T30 and a T40) all connected
via WiFi 24/7 and they _NEVER_ drop a connection.

Two (600X and T21) are using a 3Com PC card NIC, two (T23 and T30) are using
the same ActionTec mini-PCI card as your A31 and the T40 is using the IBM
A/B/G mini-PCI card.

What OS are you and Ellen running?

Regards,

James
