Look on the back for a phone jack. If you see one, you have one.

Don't confuse a NIC card with a phone jack. A NIC card has an ethernet port which is slightly larger than a phone port.

The picture below shows both ports. The port with the <--> is the ethernet.The port with the picture of a handset to a phone is the phone (modem).

Pictured here is Apple Computer's "airport" wireless base station. It is plugged into a cable mode, DSL modem or other device and then transmits wireless signals to and from your wireless computer.

The make/model of the modem would be a start.

Her original question was "How would I know if my computer has a voice modem.".

It won't be easy for her to give us the make/model of something that she isn't sure she has yet.

I'm presuming that she can look at the model number of the modem. Of course, if she doesn't have a modem, then the answer is obvious, no?
