Using the Modem (Select Models)

Some notebook models include an RJ-11 telephone jack,
modem cable, and a preinstalled V.92 modem. You can connect
your modem to a telephone line and communicate throughout the
world. You can explore the Internet, send and receive email
messages, and use your notebook to send and receive faxes. Your
notebook contains several software programs that work with
your modem:
■
Internet Explorer, for browsing the World Wide Web
■
Outlook Express, for sending and receiving email messages
■
Windows Fax Console, for sending and receiving faxes
For best performance, you can connect to any Internet service
provider (ISP) or modem network that has V.90 or V.92
interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of
telephone numbers that support V.90 or V.92. (V.92 enables
modem on-hold technology that allows an Internet session to be
interrupted to answer a phone call, then resumes the Internet
session after the call is completed.)
