Hi,
Im trying to get my laptop to connect
up to the internet using a card modem
and a little socket on the side
which looks like the place for the
phone to plug into.
But its not the normal phone socket.
Its a little round hole
like a sub minature jack plug hole.
By it is a symbol embossed on the case,
that looks like a phone keypad.
Someone told me that it is the place
for the phone to plug in, but its for a
mobile phone because its a laptop.
Thats new to me, but plausible i suppose.
It sees the modem, and has installed it,
but it gives the message 'no dial tone'
Quite reasonable as theres no line on it.
The laptop is a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75C
Its old, but still well known.
I'd like to use the normal land line,
but if it will only work with a mobile
then that will have to do.
Can anyone help me to do this?
John
