Service and Support

* x2 Technology is capable of 56 Kbps downloads. However, due to FCC rules which restrict power output of the service provider's modem, current download speeds are limited to approximately 53 Kbps. Actual speed may vary depending on line conditions. An x2-capable analog phone line and an x2-capable service provider are required for these high speed downloads. x2 and the x2 logo are trademarks of U.S. Robotics.

Some software may differ from the retail version, if applicable, and may not include all program functionality or user manuals.

All measurements of capacities, speed, and size are approximate. Data on CD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate from innermost track to outermost track. When referring to hard drive capacity, MB stands for million bytes and GB stands for billion bytes. Some utilities may indicate varying hard drive capacities. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments. Sends at 9600 bps to standard fax machines. Sends at up to 14.4 Kbps to other computer system with fax capabilities.
