Not to be confused with a network card that has only one connection. I found this explanation on Ask Jeeves: Internal modems usually have a pair of modular telephone jacks on the back of the computer. They should be right next to each other and each one looks like a jack on the interior wall of a building where a telephone plugs in. One of the pair should be labeled "line" (or the like) which is where you plug in the telephone line. Network cards also have modular jacks, but they are seldom in pairs and are slightly wider since they normally have 8 pins. Internal DSL "modems" exist and also have modular telephone jacks, but I think they are not very common (most DSL modems are external) as of 2002.

The easiest might be to look at the back of the CPU ( the computer box). If it has a thing that loks like a phone jack, attach a phone line and try to make an internet connection. If it works - you have an internal modem. You should also be able to find the modem listed in the folder called "devise manager". Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eileen Julian" <ejulian@intlcenter.org> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-technology@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 12:15 PM Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:3198] internal modems > Hello, I am a new member. > > How can I find out if my computer has an internal modem?
