Happily, anything will do. www.mobileplanet.com will get you started; but
use www.silverace.com/smartpig/ to get the lowest prices online.

Happily, everything works very well today. You can go cheap with just about
any $20-30 NIC/modem from Dlink.com or linksys.com and they'll work great like
it does here at work. If you do go expensive, there's only one company: 3COM
for their XJack NIC/Modem card in one.

You can get around the 8GB limit by using a disk manager program like
Ontrack's program or IBM's free program (if you get an IBM HD).
www.csd.toshiba.com for all the drivers you'll need under windows (support
section).
<8GB HDs, no additional programs needed to see the entire 8GB.
my site below for the full list of all compatible HDs.

fdisk and format the HD in the Libretto first if it's <8GB!!!!!! Otherwise,
the hibernation partition won't have a space allocated correctly and data will
be overwritten. If the HD is > 8GB, you'll have to Disk Manager, fdisk, format
it on the Libretto, and transfer the \win9x directory over to the Libretto over
a Laplink/DCC compatible cable and DOS Laplink/Interlink/etc. because you can't
boot the HD with Ontrack correctly running on the desktop w/the Libretto
settings.
Of course, if you have the DOS CD-ROM drivers running, then simply copy from
the CD-ROM to the formatted HD in the L.
