What is the difference between using a pre-installed modem and using a PC Card modem?

I'm old Sony Vaio PCG-SR5K laptop and has a pre-installed in it 56k modem. I used to access the Internet in the past, but only on Dial-Up. Apart from the fact that one is internal and the other works with a PCMCIA slot, there is a difference between the pre-installed modem I have these modems and PC Card I hear about? If yes, what is the difference? Moreover, one of these modems I use to access the Internet with a mobile phone and data cable? Thank you to everyone who can help me. Sorry. In relation to mobile phone, I ask is that I can use the modem already in the laptop to connect to the Internet with a cell phone? Or will I use another type? I should probably also mention that I have a standard phone jack port on the laptop, and not an Ethernet port.

For all practical purposes are the same. The real difference is the physical size of every age and old maps. You should be able to configure either to work with a mobile phone and data cable. However, a dataset can connect to both the cell and computer. I hope this helps.
