Is there experience if the support for an IBM Thinkpad T41 laptop 
improved from 10.0 to 10.1? Where did it improve? How about the 
upcoming 10.2?

I have to say that I will probably install an own kernel myself 
anyhow, as many reports tell that suspend2 works better on the T41 
than the in-kernel stuff.

My other systems are still on 10.0, and it would ease patching and 
upgrading if I can just use the established processes with the 
laptop; therefore I'm checking if there is really an advantage in 
upgrading to 10.1 in that situation.

I seem to remember that some who upgraded from either 10.0 or
9.3 could no longer use their  built in AC7 56K Modem.

The drivers that use to work were not included with 10.1 and they
were no longer available for downloading at all (from anywhere).

If you use the modem,  you will not be a happy camper ...   :-(
