Hi Dave,
I think you will find the built-in modem is what is known as a
Win-modem. This is partly hardware and partly software based, in other
words a bit of a compromise in design to keep costs and size down. They
were just never as good as a proper hardware modem plugged into a proper
com port.
My laptop's modem used to connect at 36 to 40k, whereas my proper modem
would generally manage 42k.
BTW. I may know a chap who has several of those Thinkpads available as
scrap items. I'm not sure of the model, but the one with a green
joystick type button (middle of the keyboard) instead of a mouse pad.
