In digging around on the internet I have come to the conclusion that the computer we had was a PS/1 and not a PS/2. In my defence, this was almost 20 years ago.

Confirming what I suspected, all PS/1 models had a built-in 2400 bps modem, and an internal modem on the MCA bus was a popular option for the PS/2's as well.

I do still remember the specs. 386 25 MHz processor, 2 MB RAM and a whopping 40 MB hard drive. It only had a PC speaker for sound, but did have a VGA display so at least the graphics were pretty.

I broke that thing regularly while figuring out how it worked. Thankfully it was never a permanent condition.
