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 with, in some
countries, the use of a country-specific modem adapter. Modem
cables are provided with most notebooks, but may be purchased
separately from most electronic retailers. Some notebooks may
have been purchased without an internal 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.
