If the modem is built into the motherboard, try going into your bios..
(press delete on boot usually)
and you may be able to change the settings to disable... as i the previous
message, if it is any other sort of modem, just pull it out,, unless you are
dualbooting and want it for windows... in which case, why? you have an
external....use that.
g luck...

If your internal modem is a pci or an isa then you would simply remove the
card from your computer, if it is part of the motherboard, then you will
have to check your instruction book for the motherboard. If you are like me,
you don't have any instruction, so you will just have to wing it, possibly
you could find out more about your motherboard on the internet. Let me know
how you come out.Carl
