Eric Yeager, asked about using a 56K Modem on his Toshiba T4800CT

Eric,

It really does NOT depend upon the speed of your CPU/Bus...it DOES
depend upon the type of Serial Port Chips you have in your laptop.

16650 chips are capable of 56K and I think 16550 are also...this is
because they have built-in buffers, so they don't drop characters
at the higher speeds.

Some 16450 chips can handle 56K using software buffers, and I think
Arachne package comes with this ability...

You can get all the information available for your laptop by going
to:

http://www.toshiba.com/

Leave "All Products" in the selection box, enter T4800CT in the
Search Box, and click "Search" ...you will get 67 document hits.
They contain a bunch of info you may find useful.

I am sending you by separate, off list, emails:

TSB0321.htm   -  5K
and
4800CT.TXT    -  9K

QUICKREF.HTM  - 39K

T4800CT.GIF   - 62K

I happen to know my way around their site since I had to go there
to get the info for my Satellite 110CS I just bought on eBay...so
you got a freebie...<g>

You need to go on the Toshiba site with at least the Win3.1/NN 4.08
or you can't properly navigate thru their CSS and Frames garbage..

.......gregy
