    Hi guys

    I'm about to buy an XPS 1330. It might seem strange to you to have dial-up access to internet these days. But for me it's essential.

    As you know 1330 doesn't have 56k modem. I was thinking to buy a PCMCIA modem. however, I don't know how should I find its driver under Vista.

    Could you please tell me what should I do, or any other suggestion for dial-up access.

    Thanks

    Dell's UK site offers a zero cost USB 56k modem option for the M1330.

    It is at the end of the first configuration page.

    M1330 does not have PCMCIA slot! It's express card!

    Do you have BT? There's some BT 56KB modems out there. I have one somewhere in my surplus gear.
