Re: 3400 phone line?

Bob,

Their is a special adapter for the 3400, but if you do not plan to use both
the ethernet and modem at tthe same time you can hard wire either through the
rear port.

 Thanks for any help ...

The RJ-45 connector on the back is for both Ethernet and modem.  The 
laptop originally came with an adapter cable that brought out two 
connectors.  But you can use it with either without the adapter. 
It's best to not use it with a two line phone jack (unless you use a 
single line cable, two wires only) as the second line is on the same 
pins as one of the Ethernet pairs.  Both can be used simultaneously.

Thanks Gary. It would've helped if the 3400 had come with a manual ...
I'm a little embarrassed and very grateful. Thanks!

 the plug on the back is a combo ethernet/rjll jack. Either will fit and
 work; it's autosensing.

Bob, I started to send you the pdf, but it was a big email to send unrequested.

Here's a link to legacy manuals, where I got my copy:

http://www.info.apple.com/support/manuals.legacy.html

They are all there!

Just obtained a 3400c myself. Go to apple's webpage and download the 
owner's manual and the tech manual in PDF format. The owner's manual 
alone is over 189 pages. I printed it out and made up a looseleaf manual. 
It's been invaluable. You can even download the designer's notes, over 
150 pages. WWW.Apple.com .Look for the legacy section. Regards. 


THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
