"56K V.90/K56 flex"

Plug it in and ask it ATI1 through ATI9. Ususally the manufafturer's name
and model number are in there somewhere.
On the back it has an on/off switch, a power
socket, a parallel port style socket (I have
necessary cable), line socket and phone socket.
I hope you mean serial port. It's a DB25F connector, yes?
I assume the line socket plugs into the phone
connection socket, but what's the phone
connection for? To plug the phone/fax line in??
When the modem is offline, the phone socket is connected to the wall
socket. When the modem is online, the phone socket is not connected to
anything. By plugging your modem into the wall and your phone into the
modem, you can share one phone outlet between your phone and modem, with
the modem having priority.
