Making Connections Using the Modem Using the Modem By connecting your modem to a telephone line, your PC can communicate with other networked computers. You can explore the Internet, send and receive e-mail messages, and send and receive faxes. Your HP notebook PC 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 • QuickLink III, for sending and receiving faxes (for Windows 98) • Fax, for sending and receiving faxes (for Windows 2000) Selected models of the HP notebook PC include a built-in high-speed V.90 modem. This modem allows you to connect to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has V.90 interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of telephone numbers that support V.90. Note that the maximum speed for faxing is 14.4Kbps. Even though the built-in modem is capable of downloading at 56Kbps, your ISP may not operate at this speed; please check with your service provider for information. Transmission rates also depend on the condition of the telephone line. If your computer does not have a built-in modem (or if you prefer to use a different modem), you can install a PC card modem or attach an external modem to the serial port. To connect the modem 1.
