Re: [newbie] RE: [newbie] Compaq Presario 1700t (modem)
Thank you for letting me know that I was not the only one fooled. I will give them a call sometime about this. Unfortunately a very strange thing happened with my laptop right after I emailed about my modem. The screws came out of the bottom left corner of the screen and I could not close it. I was not happy about this and of course the warranty is up. I took it in for repair and it should be a simple repair. I have decided to change the modem while it is there. This repairman has a pcmcia modem that he says his Linux tech friend uses on his laptop. He cannot find the manufacturer on the box. On the outside of the box it says WPPPC56FM-00 PCMCI 56KFax Modem. The serial # is FM14005233. It is a v.90 56K Flex. Does anyone know about this modem? How would I find out about it on the net? Thanks for your help.

If the number is there you can go to the FCC website http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ and plug in the ID number to find out the manufacturer and model, I am not sure but it may give the website for the manufacturer also.

I have had resonable success in the past just taking the part numbers from the item and putting them through a search engine. Some times it works ok, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and every once in a while, I strike gold!

if you can identify an fcc number then you can look that up, this can be very useful bascule On Thursday 01 January 1970 1:00 am, you wrote: I have had resonable success in the past just taking the part numbers from the item and putting them through a search engine.
