Connecting to your ISP

If you installed as Ethernet, The 3Com ADSL Modem PCI automati- cally connects to your ADSL service provider and to your network provider every time the computer is started. You are “always on.”

If your connection is PPP, the 3Com ADSL Modem PCI automatically connects to your ADSL provider when the computer is started. This is a physical connection by ADSL line between your modem and the service provider. However, you are not “always on.” To connect to the Internet or to your corporate network, you will need to make a further connection using Microsoft Dial-Up Networking. Think of it this way. The PPP setup establishes an “always on” link to your phone company through the phone line. But you place a dial-up request to get access to the World Wide Web.

Your install kit may include further instructions from your service provider.
