Dial up? Then, the laptop should have its own internal modem anyway. At least this is the case with my three lappies - the oldest being 7 years. I only need a USB modem now with broadband, and that was supplied by my service provider.
EDIT - do you mean that it does not have an inbuilt telephone cable socket?Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0 -
Laptop details? Model number etc We can take a look at the available inputs.0
