About Toshiba: I use a satellite 2520 cds. It contains (certainly like the 2100) a lucent winmodem. I use this modem with a close source driver which works great. Everything work but I've had to fight for. I hope other laptop manufacturers are more linux-friendly. (I believe sony is better it would be my next choice). For Toshibe under linux a good start point is : http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/
