CAUTION:
Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone
lines or a private branch exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a
coin-operated telephone, and does not work with party lines. Some of
these connections may result in excess electrical voltage and could
cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your telephone line
type prior to connecting your phone line.
All notebook models include an RJ-11 (modem) jack and a
preinstalled high-speed 56K modem. A modem cable with
RJ-11 connectors at each end is included.
If you purchased a notebook with an internal modem in a country
where RJ-11 telephone jacks are not standard, a country-specific
modem adapter is included with the notebook.
For best performance, connect to any Internet service provider
(ISP) or modem network that has high-speed Internet access.
The maximum speed for faxing is 14.4 Kbps, even though the
modem is capable of downloading at higher speeds.
