Hi Ross!

At least the 3GX has a built in 14.1 modem, I think the other models do =
to. It says in the user guide that it can only be used in the US, but =
mine works fine here in Sweden.
I guess its more of a legal thing but technically its probably a =
standard modem. Maybe you should check out the users guide on the =
www.sunhelp.com ,it has an overview of all the features and some info on =
setting up ppp and nfs etc., pretty informative : - )

The built in modem is propably to slow for ppp though and any serious =
internet connection. I'd like to try the built in ISDN on my Sparcbook, =
that=20
might be useful if the standard is compatible with what is used around =
here. Not many people use it though nowadays, its not that fast really =
but it should be a bit better than a 56K modem, especially since those =
tend to almost never actually connect at 56K.

You could use a PCMCIA modem for 56K connections, its probably the best =
option, apart from ADSL or something such more modern and speedy.

Best regards
Peter
