Laptops :: DSL on very old IBM
Here is the link for making floppies
I haven't tried it.
Try this link: http://pbhj.alicious.com/slackware - it has a lot of links for Thinkpads and Linux.
Here's another link for mwave: http://www.mikebouckley.net/mwave/index.htm which the 755cx uses for sound, modem etc. I have an old 755 [a cd if I remember correctly] as well, will keep track here as I would like to install dsl on it as well.
Here are two more ThinkPad sites you may find useful: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki and http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/.
Good luck.....
