To keep you and others even oldies here and stable with OS/2 for your BBS
should you be battery inclined ..

I happen to know that your R51 and T43 are in this group as best I can tell. 
It would be horrible to leave 1:117/600 up as an OS/2 BBS on FidoNet in this
area and come home to a burned up RV.

You'll have to be careful to make the IBM URL line all one line to punch it
into your SeaMonkey to get the IBM website up to handle your battery ID process
and claim if you need it.  It may be that someone else here has the same
problem ..  The below is a quote from CRM Magazine's Email notices with full

Folks with ThinkPads might note:


Lenovo Recalls Sony-Made Battery Packs For ThinkPads

By Edward F. Moltzen & Scott Campbell, CRN
1:34 PM EDT Thu. Sep. 28, 2006

Lenovo is recalling 168,500 ThinkPad notebook battery packs in the United
States and another 357,000 worldwide, saying the lithium-ion batteries can
"cause overheating, posing a fire hazard to consumers."

The recalled batteries were sold between February 2005 and September 2006 for
$150 to $180, according to a press release issued by Lenovo and the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission. Sold with a notebook or separately, the
batteries affect three ThinkPad product families: the T Series, including the
T43, T43p and T60 models; the R series, including the R51e, R52, R60 and R60e
models; and the X series, including the X60 and X60s models.

IBM also was included in the announcement as joining the recall with Lenovo.
IBM manufactured ThinkPads until it sold its PC business to Lenovo last year.

More detailed information on the recall, including part and model numbers, can
be found on the CPSC Web site.

The recall was issued after a report of a ThinkPad T43 that caught fire at Los
Angeles International Airport. Earlier this week, Lenovo said it was
investigating the incident and confirmed that the notebook had a Sony-made
battery pack.

Raleigh, N.C.-based Lenovo is the latest PC maker to recall laptop batteries
made by Sony, following massive recalls by Dell and Apple involving a total of
some 6 million units. In addition, Toshiba is voluntarily exchanging some of
its Sony notebook batteries because of what it said are quality control issues.

Since Fido has the line length issue of 80 characters in text mode,you'll need
to remove the final underscore on that upper line and paste the next line
starting with the word 'document' into your browser to hit that URL.  I'm
adding this comment in that I realize you are new to all this Donna.  Just
trying to help.


More later on the cell phone use to host your FidoNet 1:117/600 BBS on OS/2
where we can't get to WiFi and so on..



--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
