SPEEDSTER 288 INTERNAL FAX/MODEM
2.3 What You’ll Need
In addition to everything you received in the Speedster 288 package, you’ll
need:
• An open 8- or 16-bit expansion slot (8-bit preferred) that can accept
a 5.9-inch board.
• A 3.5-inch floppy-disk drive.
• A Phillips-head screwdriver or a
1
⁄
4
-inch hex screwdriver (depending
on the type of screws used on your computer’s cover).
• An
analog
telephone line. This is the standard telephone line most
homes have.
WARNING!
The modem will be damaged if you use a digital phone.
Since some homes and most businesses have digital lines, before
plugging your Speedster 288 into a jack you’re unsure about (a jack at
work, for example), ask the person in charge of the phone system if the
line is digital.
