    We are ordering my sister laptop and there is an option for a modem. None or Integrated V.92/56K modem. What is this and do I need it?

    It depends on how you connect to the internet.

    I guess if you don't know what it is, you probably dont need it.

    Back in the day when people had dialup internet, you had to use a 56K modem.

    Today you dont really need it, and I have never used myne.

    check google for more info on 56K modems.

    Oooh! Yeah, we have wireless. I'd cry if we still had dial up.
    Thanks! :D
