310-e.book Page 23 Tuesday, October 27, 1998 5:17 PM Ports Fax/Data Modem The computer has a built-in fax/data modem. Caution: This modem port is not compatible with digital phone lines. Plugging this modem into a digital phone line will damage the modem. To use the fax/data modem port, connect a phone cable from the modem port to a telephone jack. Start your communications software program. See your communications manual for instructions. PC Card Slots There are two type II/I or one type III CardBus PC Card slots found on the right panel of the computer. These slots accept credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and expandability of the computer. PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers, giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Popular type II cards include flash memory, SRAM, fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI cards. Common type III cards are 1.8-inch ATA drives and cellular modems. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits. Chapter 1 Getting Familiar with your Computer 23
