I'd do three things: 1) Do a search on Amazon for "USB Modem". As of 5 minutes ago, you'll be presented with 125 hits. Research time: start with the biggies (US Robotics, Zoom, Creative Labs, Best Data, Diamond, 3Com, etc); ask each if their product is ABSOLUTELY compatible with the 3ePC. 2) Go to Asus' website and plead with them to give you info on a USB modem they know will work. 3) Hope that somebody smarter than I am responds to your question. By the way, I also am (and I'm sure a good many others are) looking for a dial-up modem (not a high priority, yet). Please respond if you happen across any good news. Thanks.

Hito be honest, i just realized i did not have it. it does not come with a built in modem, but you can always get an external one via USB. But dont make the modem be a distractor not to purchase the pc. PC is beautiful sleek and fast. new pc's do not come with modems any more, its a thing from the past. I use my pc for work and I barely fax or receive a fax from anyone any more its all about emails. hope this help, good luck!

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

It looks like it should but you might need a USB plug in. I currently use this without Internet intentionally.

I don't think you need computer. But you need to have a WI Fi modem available.

May have to Google that. I have a security system that it works through so they will need some sort of a modem or something. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This does not work as a modem but will work with cable internet that has a modem to give you wifi

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).

Must have modem connected to Internet. Yes they will help you. With anything.

It most likely will work, so long you are in WiFi range. This unit will not work with out an Internet connection.

You will need a reliable internet connection for this item to work. Thanks.

Well yes. It's not a wireless computer. You can purchase a longer ether net cord and it should be fine

In a word, NO. It has to be connected to a router that assigns internal IP addresses. That would be either your cable/DSL 'modem' or to something like an Apple Airport that has an ethernet jack.

No, this modem is for high-speed DSL use only. You would need a modem that specifies "cable." Your internet service provider won't accept any modem so your best bet is to call them or look up on their website for compatible cable modems, so that you get the best (and fastest) internet experience possible. This modem is more a headache than anything, I wouldn't bother. Check out Netgear cable modems for a good start.

I have not done so yet, but see no reason why not. It would have to be in the form of flash drive, download or something like that seeing how it does not have the cd drive...This has just kind of turned into my internet machine due to the long battery life ( 4 hour average). I have just now started connecting to the internet via the ultrabooks built in bluetooth to my cell phone. Not sure yet which way the battery life will go by not using the wifi, but it is really neat to connect this way. Hope this helps...

Not without an external modem, as this laptop, as with most modern laptops, does not have a modem built in. You'd need something like http://amzn.com/B004BU8O9Y to connect.
