Not necessary. Disable and insert pcmcia card. You do have a pcmcia slot
don't you? A friend just plugged his notebook with internel modem into
some system where it did not belong. Repairs on this brand name would
take weeks, for this reason and others I will avoid purchasing notebooks
with internel modems and would never buy a win_anything. I just bought
(2) 56K pcmcia modems at Frys for $79US each. The difference between
winmodems and real modems is now only a few dollars, hardly worth all the
work involved in what would probably be a futile effort to get a majority
of them to work with linux. IMHO, being the DS that I am. :-)
