535335 2007-03-23 22:47:00 I’ve been given a Compaq Presario 2500 notebook which had a failed HDD.

Anyway, I’ve installed a new HDD and loaded Windows XP but am a little confused about the modem, at least I think it’s a modem? :D

It’s a Fritz Card PCMCIA v2.0 High Performance ISDN manufactured by AVM.

Question is will this thing work in New Zealand? As far as I know it last worked in Germany. And, where would one purchase the miniscule cord to the telephone splitter? One end of the cord would be standard but the Fritz Card end is a long elongated socket looking like a miniature of the original PCMIA socket.

Googling has produced most of the information about the Fritz Card in a foreign language and I can’t find anything that looks like the appropriate telephone cord on the Dick Smith site. :help:

535336 2007-03-23 22:59:00 I dont think NZ has ISDN anyway. Well, not available to the public.

If this (www.novell.com)
is the same thing, then no it wont work here.

535337 2007-03-24 00:15:00 Sounds more likely it is an Operators console from a European based PBX Telephone system. They use ISDN digital telephones and the Fritz card interfaces to the computer, mainly for the purpose of a receptionist/Operator. pheonix (36)
535338 2007-03-24 00:27:00 Yes I think that is it Speedy.

I found this from Telecom www.telecom.co.nz but I doubt I would ever use the service even if it were readily available.

Seems I could have spent a lot of time trying to get it going over here. :D

Anyway, thanks for your help again. :thumbs:
