Question about 56k Modem and Newer Laptops!
(Note: I'm sorry that some of my hyperlinks look like ads; I copied the URL links from a Notepad file I made some time back, taking those links directly from the sales pages of those companies selling those computers. The old forum software, to my knowledge, did not cause the text to appear like that when you copied and pasted the site URL. Please rest assured that I'm not trying to sell you anything - I'm just asking for information and provided the hyperlinks for your reference to help you answer the question I've posted below better - thank you for your understanding.)
It's been a while since I've posted here (since before the new forum software was initiated) - sorry it's been so long. My family has dealt with 2 deaths in the past few months, along with my grandmother being in a nursing home, so I've been quite busy over the past several months.
I had a question about newer laptops that have 56k modem capability, but don't have a RJ-11 (56k modem) port. For instance, the Toshiba line of A305-S6858 (sold at Best Buy and can be seen here: Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology - A305-S6858), A305-S6857 (sold at Circuit City and can be seen here: Buy the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6857 15.4" Widescreen Laptop and other Laptop computers at circuitcity.com), and other similar models seem to list the capability of having 56k modem speed, but don't have the modem included.
I was wondering if something like the "US Robotics 56k modem device and software" (can be seen here: http://www.ciao.com/USRobotics_56K_U...odem__15529073) would enable me to connect to the Internet via a modem with the laptop models I mentioned above?
I'm looking into getting Hi-Speed Internet in the near future (it's been put on hold due to the recent family issues mentioned above), but I'd still like to have the option of connecting via an RJ-11 (phone line) modem in the event Hi-Speed Internet is down or not working optimally even after I get Hi-Speed Internet. For now, though, I'd primarily use the RJ-11 (phone line) Modem to connect to the Internet.
Therefore, would using a device such as US Robotics allow me to do that with those laptops I mentioned above or would I be better off purchasing a laptop that comes with an RJ-11 port, such as the Toshiba Satellite P305-S8842, seen here: Buy the Toshiba Satellite P305-S8842 17.1" Widescreen Laptop and other Laptop computers at circuitcity.com).
I'd appreciate any and all assistance and advice - thank you.
My current laptop is currently making a whining, whistling, or whirring noise when I boot up, and it continues even after the boot-up process is complete - I don't know if that is the fan or what it is - if anyone has any advice on how to clean the inside of a laptop and/or to rectify this situation, I'd greatly appreciate any advice and information on that as well - thank you.
Please take care and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Joe Chengery III
