Depends on the laptop.  IBM thinkpads (get them while you can) T series
are at least somewhat supported officially for OS2.  I have a T23 with no=

wireless.

Modem - worked poorly with a driver, removed it (it wasn't very heavy
anyhow :-) and now use a PCMCIA modem when I need one.

WIred - there's a driver for the one I have.

Sound - driver available under eCS.
