Has anyone out there had good experiences with Warp & Notebooks ?

I have been trying to find a Notebook which is supported by MMOS2, OS/2 APM,
OS/2 PCMCIA (modem & Ethernet for LAN Server 4) with no success. I bought a
TECO NB5 on trial and found that:

    I could only get 640x480x16 (even on external monitor)
    The PCMCIA was not detected (but choosing 'Panasonic' seemed to work)
    I had to do a bit of fiddling to get the Netcomm PCMCIA modem to work
    Warp detected the 'Audio Drive' support, but it doesn't make any noise
    The EN-6002 PCMCIA Ethernet is not supported by LAN Server

etc., etc., ... and this was the closest match to my requirements that I could
find for under $5000!

I don't really want to keep purchasing machines on trial (and wasting a day on
each one to see if it works), but it doesn't seem that ANY supplier can tell me
if their machines are compatable.

Please note that I'm not an OS/2 novice .... so I shouldn't have had the
problems which I encountered!

Any suggestions gratefully accepted (please mail replies rather than posting
here)
