If you want to access the Internet you need:
■ A modem – a device that connects your tablet PC to other computers or
servers using a telephone, DSL, or cable line.
■ An Internet service provider – a company that provides access to the
Internet through an ISP server. When you connect to an ISP, the ISP server
lets you access the Internet and your e-mail messages.
■ A Web browser – a program that displays information from the World
Wide Web.
■ An e-mail program – a program that lets you create, send, and receive
e-mail messages over the Internet.
Setting up an Internet account
Before you can view the information on the World Wide Web, you need to
set up an Internet account with an Internet service provider (ISP). To set up
an ISP service or to transfer an existing account to this tablet PC, contact the
ISP directly.
