Does the Studio 1535 have a modem?
My studio 1535 laptop doesn't seem to have a built in modem but it came with software for a conexant d400 external modem, which I think was on it originally.
I have since reformatted the hard rive and reinstalled vista.
How can I tell if the laptop actually has a modem and whether I need to install the conexant d400 application, driver and utility?
Is the conexant stuff applicable to any external modem that I connect to the laptop?
I do have an Apple usb external modem which I use on my Mac Pro desktop. Would this modem be suitable to use with my dell laptop?
It didn't come with any software because I think it's built into the Mac OS.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I think I will leave it off unless I need it.
The modem is not standard - you would need to have added one at the time of purchase.
You can use the Apple modem only if you can find Windows drivers for it (which is possible, since the MacPro can run Windows). Check with Apple.

Thanks, but then why was the conexant software installed on the laptop when I received it?
