Step 2:
Connect Your Cables
Next, for an Internet connection, connect your PowerBook to a phone line, DSL
modem, cable modem, or Ethernet network. If you’re connecting to a wireless AirPort
Extreme 802.11b or 802.11g network, you don’t need cables.
To connect to a phone line:

Connect the phone cord from a wall jack to the internal modem port for a dial-up
connection.
Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line—the kind used
typically in homes.
For more information about your modem, see “Using Your Modem” on page 44.
For information about other types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the
Internet,” on page 79.
