I have been checking the overview of the 760XL is in the Roger Dodson
Thinkpad Compilation tpichart.pdf available from:
ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles

If I read it correctly, the 760XL does not have DSP, nor internal Mwave
modem.

This would be the only Thinkpad I know of that would not have an internal
modem. Could anyone confirm this for me? And possibly explain me the
rationale behind this absence?

I do not need video in/out, but, having had an internal modem on my TP760,
now I wonder if buying a laptop without an internal modem is a good idea or
not.
