The 760ED has the IBM MWave modem. Remember that the Mwave sometimes has trouble with simultanious sound and modem use. One of the reasons I myself use a PCMCIA modem instead of the internal one is that the PCMCIA is faster, and even when I still had a 14.4 H&A, it was more reliable. I've had all kinds of problems with my built-in modem, and don't think that built-in modems are as good as PCMCIA ones. > >> I also want to ask a small question, is there a problem installing >> Microsoft's DirectX 5 on these machines?
