Fax/data modem

Your computer features a software modem(V9.0/V9.2 56Kbps), enabling you
to communicate over a phone line. This means that you can connect to the
Internet via a dialup account with an ISP, log in to your network from a
remote location, or send faxes.

Warning: your modem is not compatible with digital phone lines.
Plugging the computer into a digital phone system will damage the
modem.

To use the fax/data modem, plug a phone cable into your computer's modem
jack, and then connect the other end to a telephone jack.
