Introduction
Communications 
Modem An internal modem provides capability for data 
and fax communication. It supports V.90 (V.92). 
Refer to V.90 section in Appendix E. The speed 
of data transfer and fax depends on analog 
telephone line conditions. It has a modem jack 
for connecting to a telephone line. It is 
preinstalled as a standard device in some 
markets. Both of V.90 and V.92 are supported 
only in USA, Canada and Australia. Only V.90 is 
available in other regions.
LAN The computer has built-in support for Ethernet 
LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and 
Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 
100BASE-Tx).Refer to the Parts Numbers 
section in Appendix I.
Wireless LAN Some computers in this series are equipped with 
a Wireless LAN mini-PCI card that is compatible 
with other LAN systems based on Direct 
Sequence Spread Spectrum / Orthogonal 
Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology 
that complies with the IEEE 802.11 Standard 
(Revision A, B or G), and Turbo Mode.
