Using the Modem

You can connect your modem to a telephone line and communicate throughout the world. You can explore the Internet, send and receive e-mail 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 e-mail messages

•Windows Fax Console software 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.

The maximum speed for faxing is 14.4 Kbps, even though the modem is capable of downloading at higher speeds.

CAUTION	Your built-in modem may not work with multiple phone lines or a private branch
	exchange (PBX), cannot be connected to a coin-operated telephone, and does not
	work with party lines. Some of these connections may result in excess electrical
	voltage and could cause a malfunction in the internal modem. Check your
	telephone line type prior to connecting your phone line.
