TX standard or duplex networks. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.
Modem Port
The RJ-11 telephone port supports an RJ-11 telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K
V.90 transfers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.

systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.
1394
IEEE1394 Port (depending on model)
Also known as iLINK (Sony) or FireWire (Apple). IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a band-
width of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. It is very likely that IEEE1394,
together with USB, will replace Parallel, IDE, SCSI, and EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used in high-
end
digital equipment and should be marked "DV" for Digital Video port.
Portbar Port (depending on model)
The Portbar port is for connection to an optional Portbar to provide docking features to desktop periph-
erals. More details given later.
