	Well, guys, the G41 Thinkpad had a bad cat5 jack, and the 
	"Customer Support" chap at portefix.com had not replied to two 
	(polite) letters.   The site has a [Canadian] BBB logo; that's
	the only reason I risked dealing with them.

	I've already taken Step #1: writing to the Quebec BBB.  See
	what happens.  Meanwhile, beware of buying anything from this
	tiny (2-person) dealer.  (*sigh*)
