I have never read a report or review of an M-10 with an internal modem.
And the magazines that covered the Model 100 _did_ review the Olivetti
and NEC products, but of course those magazines were rather more than
three moves ago (per Poor Richard, three removes equals one fire), but
I do recall that they all had the same Kyocera main board with minor
changes per customer.
The mention in this thread of a Kyocera-labeled product intrigues me,
as I'd never heard of such at the edge of the Pacific I was on then.
(Nowadays, I'm on the west edge of the Atlantic, and it is not a fun
place for a California boy to be -- hell, I'd rather be living on
Jersey than in New Jersey).

When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any
firearms with me. I said "Well, what do you need?" -- Steven Wright
thrown in. The NEC and Olivetti versions
depended on external modems
I have the Olivetti version - an M10, and the PCB certainly has positions
for the internal modem components. Now, it would be quite normal for a UK
machine not to have the modem (our CCITT tones are different from Bell
tones at 300 baud, and there are different approval requirements), so I
assumed that the US model had the modem fitted.
