    I’ve run into a few of these at work in recent years actually. This is a 56k modem but given 14.4k is even slower, it is very likely.

      Couldn’t open that, but web searches say rs232. Serial, not parallel, just like essentially all external modems.

        People may be confusing the connector type, the horrendous 25 pin DB thing, with the protocol.

        I fixed the link. I hate that my phone browser defaults to the stupid Google analytic links. Need to find out if there’s a setting to turn it off.

        And you’re likely correct. Any modem I used growing up were internal cards. As another commentator mentioned I likely confused the port type given it’s size.
