Modem
This section describes how to connect and disconnect the internal modem
to and from a telephone jack.
Click the icon with the secondary mouse button to display the properties
menu on the screen.
Region selection
Telecommunication regulations vary from one region to another, so you will
need to make sure the internal modem’s settings are correct for the region
in which it will be used.
To select a region, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Networking -> Modem
Region Select.
2. The Region Selection icon will appear in the Windows Task Bar.
3. Click the icon with the primary (left) mouse button to display a list of
regions that the modem supports, together with a sub-menu which
details telephony location information - a check mark will appear next to
the currently selected region and telephony location.

country/region setting this way you may find that the change does not take
effect.
