Connecting an external modem
You can use a PC Card modem in your computer’s PC Card slot. For
information on connecting and using a PC Card modem, see the
documentation that came with your modem, as well as “Using a PC Card
Modem” in the section “Using PC Cards (PCMCIA Cards)” in Chapter 3 of
this manual, and the “Using PC Cards” topic area of Mac OS Guide, available
in the Guide (h) menu.
You can also connect an external modem to the modem/printer port on the

for the modem.
