Hi folks!

Would anyone recommend a free (or commercial Unix)
that supports it? I'm running on an IBM ThinkPad 750CS 
and I would prefer *BSD over Linux, even if it requires
some porting. I would also like to keep the access to my
PCMCIA modem and ethernet on the above conditions. 

Any recomendations?

Thanks a lot, Joel. (who doesn't want to waste his skills on Windows)

P.S. I got word that somebody hacked MCA support into NetBSD and
     that somebody else added support for PCMCIA to BSDI. Any
     pointers to those pieces of code?
