Using a Country-Specific Modem Cable
Standard telephone wall jacks vary worldwide.
They are consistent among locations in North America, Latin
America, Japan, and Hong Kong, but vary by country elsewhere.
To enable modem connections in other countries, Compaq offers
optional country-specific modem cables. Each cable connects to
the standard telephone wall jacks found in one or more regions
or countries.
To purchase the country-specific modem cable(s) required for
your itinerary, refer to “Worldwide Telephone Numbers” in
Appendix A for the name of the nearest authorized Compaq
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
