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.
