and Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. If these numbers are
requested, provide this information to your telephone company.

provided. You may attach the label to the exterior of the computer in which you
install the IBM modem, or you may attach the label to the external DAA, if you
have one. Place the label in a location that is easily accessible, should you need
to provide the label information to the telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your number is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five

determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to
