toshiba tecra 8000 and lucent modem

[Fbayonnj at aol.com]

I am having  a problem with a tecra 8000 and I read the message that  you 
have posted. I tried connecting the laptop to the internet.  But is  telling me 
that my modem is not installed.  The problem is that this lap  top is pretty 
old and it has no warranty.  It was given to me but I want to  use it for work.  
Is there anything that I could be able to do to get the  modem working 
properly.  
 
 
thank you
