[wplug] setting up an old laptop

[Ben Beige]

I just got my hands on a old IBM thinkpad 701c it's a 486 w/ 16mb of ram, I 
was wondering what would be the best way to get Linux onto it and how to 
connect it to my home network or another Linux box as a terminal. as far as 
I can tell it doesn't have a serial port, it dose have IR and parallel 
thought the parallel port is also the floppy connector form the looks of 
it. it dose have a Cirrus Logic PCIC compatible PCMCIA controller too 
(according to windows 
95)  http://mdxi.collapsar.net/butterfly/tp701-specsheet.png  according to 
this sheet it its 2 type 1 2 type 2 or 1 type 3 capable for PCMCIA if 
anyone has a spare NIC i could get :) but I'd like recomendations on how to 
get linuc onto this system and how to connect it to my home network
