You will need the MWAVE drivers for the Modem.

First let me say "thank's for the reply", I viewed the URL you posted and it does not include the CS. All other's but no CS ? JD

You'll need a pcmcia card -- either a modem or ethernet card, depending on your needs. The 755CS had neither built-in. Make sure it's not a cardbus card, that machine won't support it.

Yes Sean, I was afraid of that. I Have a Pcmcia memory card coming and was planning on a USB card for the other slot. The help menue sorta imply's that the serial connector somehow can be used for a modem connection but I don't know the specific's of that or the type connector that's supposed to be used. Thank's for your input. JD

That's probably referring to an external modem, which in ages gone by would be connected to your system by a serial cable.
