Thanks for the thread guys I have the same issue with my T42. Lots of helpful information.

Thanks for your help.

The model / type of the x61s is 7666-AG7

I'm guessing this might have been answered previously, but near the RAM slot on my x61s I noticed you can add a SIM card for 3G usage. I've been advised that not all x60 and x61s support 3G even through the SIM slot is built into the board as standard. Just wanted to know if there is a 3G mondem dau...
