If you look on the back, on the left side when you're facing the back, after
the folding legs are opened, you should see a phone jack there. If you
don't, there is no modem. If there is one, then you have a 14.4K modem. You
then need to make sure that you have installed a PPP dialer (AppleTalk
Remote Access or FreePPP), then configure OpenTransport to use PPP. That
should work.
