instructions.

Step 3:

Connect the phone cord from a wall jack to the internal modem port for a dial-up
connection.

typically in homes. The modem will not work with a digital phone line.

For more information about your modem, see “Using Your Modem” on page 42. For
information on other types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the
Internet,” on page 77.

unsure whether you have a digital telephone line.
