Universal Serial Bus ports
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports allow you to add

and assigns them without user intervention. Up to 127
devices can be daisy chained to a single USB port.

Some systems come with a 56 kilobytes per second
(Kbps) fax/modem board. The fax/modem board allows
the connection of a phone line to the computer for fax
and data communications functions.
Dual fax/modem ports let you use a telephone line for
the fax/modem and your telephone.
