No. It is a desktop, mini-tower type. The modem is brand name

The machine works fine. The modem's behavior seems weird. It works fine
except not in a DOS box, not in native DOS mode, but only in the Windows
GUI mode, and in the "restart in MS-DOS mode". There appears to be some
difference in the "restart in MS-DOS mode" and the native DOS mode.
Does anyone know anything about this?
