Setting up for communications

To communicate across the telephone lines with another
computer, you need:

The computer’s modem

A telephone line

A communications program

To connect to the Internet, you need a Web browser, such as
Microsoft

®

Internet Explorer.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Disable Call Waiting before you connect
through the modem. Call Waiting interrupts data transmission.

Connecting the modem

built-in 10/100 Ethernet LAN adapter. To use the modem,
you must connect it to a standard voice-grade RJ11 telephone
line.

NOTE: Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the
maximum permissible rates during downloads. Actual data
transmission speeds will vary depending on line conditions.
