Subject: Re: [newbie] RE: [newbie] Compaq Presario 1700t (modem)
Thank you for letting me know that I was not the only one fooled. I will give
them a call sometime about this. Unfortunately a very strange thing happened
with my laptop right after I emailed about my modem. The screws came out of
the bottom left corner of the screen and I could not close it. I was not
happy about this and of course the warranty is up. I took it in for repair
and it should be a simple repair. I have decided to change the modem while it
is there. This repairman has a pcmcia modem that he says his Linux tech
friend uses on his laptop. He cannot find the manufacturer on the box. On the
outside of the box it says WPPPC56FM-00 PCMCI 56KFax Modem. The serial # is
FM14005233. It is a v.90 56K Flex. Does anyone know about this modem? How
would I find out about it on the net? Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Marcia

Marcia, on the modem if used in the USA there will be a FCC (Federal Communications Commission) number. If the number is there you can go to the FCC website http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ and plug in the ID number to find out the manufacturer and model, I am not sure but it may give the website for the manufacturer also.
