Connecting a Modem Cable
A modem cable, which has a 6-pin RJ-11 connector at each end,
must be connected to an analog telephone line, in some countries,
with the use of a country-specific modem adapter. Jacks for
digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks, but
are not compatible with the modem.

WARNING:
Connecting the notebook to a digital line can
permanently damage the modem. Immediately disconnect your
modem cable if accidentally connected to a digital line.
If the modem cable contains noise suppression circuitry, which
prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the
circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.
