Oh yeah, there were the daughter card versions.....

A $10 modem from the source listed would be better, ... much better.

I think it required the "daughter" card which, of course, is long sold

out.

This modem was one of the 'upgradeable to 56K' ones, I believe. The

V.90
upgrade was slow in coming out.

This modem also was a much better modem when properly seated, and when

the
system ROM update was applied.

I agree with HH that an under $20 hardware modem (or external) would be

the
best use of energy.

What Operating System is installed? Tte 4504 came with a 33.6

Winmodem.
You
might be better off pulling it and installing a $10 Intel V90 modem.

I've
bought 4 of them from www.axiontech.com and they work great and come

with
a
driver CD.

news My daughter was given a Compaq Presario 4504 for school. She could

not
get
on the internet with AOL. In troubleshooting the problem, I found

that
no
modem was listed in device manager. An internal modem card is

installed.
When I go to install the modem and choose the Compaq, I am faced

with
choosing from a list of Compaq modems. Which Compaq modem should I

be
chosing from the list presented and am I correct in assuming it will

use
COM
1 port. I have spent the better part of this evening searching the

Compaq
site for documentation on the Presario 4504 to no avail. I would

greatly
appreciate any help anyone could provide.
