[parisc-linux] Modem communication, HP 730

[Derek Engelhaupt]

Grant,

That thing you speak of is not the modem...the modem is inside the K. 
That thing is called a LAM.  Local Access Module.  It varied from
country to country so they don't have to change the modem only the LAM.
 The modem acctually plugs into the Core i/o board via a set of about
20 pins that actually come throught the modem board.  Very easy to bend
and get out of alignment.
