Default Compaq 4/25c

I have a compaq 4/25c with a 2818 speedpaq 14.4 modem which works
fine. This modem has 2 plug ins. What is the 2nd plug in for (not a
standard phone plug)? I see on the web they call this modem an
expansion module, whatever that means. I have no manuaks for this
computer but if anyone has one I would sure like a copy.
thanks mc

As a side note the second plug in has 8 conductors as though it were a
network plug, but a standard data plug does not fit..

mc,

Reading this link, maybe it is a com port for an external modem...

Modems of that era typically had a 2nd com port so that you could plug
the phone back in where you had presumably unplugged it to use the
modem. Note, if you do try this, note that the phone must be on-hook for
the modem to work. If you aren't using the modem, you should get dial
tone when you pick up the phone.

thanks JR and Phil, I wonder how I can find one of these plugs? it is
mostly a rectangular shaped plug in, but with one side higher and the
other side slightly lower than a standard network connector
