I've recently bought for a friend a Compaq Deskpro with a US Robotics
Sportster 28,000 internal modem fitted. On the back of the computer,
next to the modem is the message , 'Caution; not for connection to a
Telecom/telephone network'. Does this warning refer to the use of the
modem and, if so, what exactly does it mean? Also can anyone tell me
what the dip-switches are for on the back of the modem. There are 8 of
them and numbers 3,5 and 8 are set to 'on'.

The person I bought the computer from claimed never to have used the
modem so I don't think it's much use getting back to him.

Many thanks.
