If you answer “Yes” to any of the following questions, then you have
a modem. Do you:

a. Send/receive faxes directly to/from your computer programs?

b. Use electronic mail (e-mail) on your computer?

c. Access the Internet or the World Wide Web from your computer?

d. Transfer data from/to other computers?

external box

If your modem is

inside your computer

, then you’ll have a phone cord

connected to the back of your computer and going to a wall jack.

If your modem is an

from the back of your computer to the box, and another phone cord
will go from the box to a wall jack.

you connect?,” then refer to the appropriate setup case indicated
