Using A Modem - Gateway Solo 5100 User Manual

While not many 32-bit CardBus cards are on the market yet, you can use them
interchangeably with 16-bit cards in your notebook. However, please note that
some docking solutions do not support CardBus. CardBus cards function only in
your notebook's PC Card slots.

Using a Modem

Installing and using a modem with your notebook is usually an easy process. If you
have ordered a modem with your notebook, the drivers for the modem have already
been loaded onto your notebook.
The modem may need different adapters depending upon the country in which it is
used. The XJACK modem (shown below) is available for purchase only in the
United States. European customers may purchase a modem with an external DAA.
To install the TelePath data/fax modem
1. Using the 15-pin connector: Plug the 15-pin connector end of the modem
cable into the end of the modem. If you have trouble plugging it in, turn the
connector over.

Caution!
Be sure to wait for the "Safe
to remove" message before
you remove the CardBus
card, or you may crash your
system and lose all your
work.
Caution!
Do not use your modem on
a digital phone line. If you
attempt to use the modem
on a digital line, the
TelePath data/fax modem
has built-in protection, and
thus will not work. Other
modems, however, could be
ruined. Most digital lines
are found in hotels or
businesses with special in-
house phone systems.
