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. :-)
