The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that provides telephone dial-up connection to the Internet. There are other ways to connect to the ISP that do not use the telephone modem, such as a LAN (local area network) or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line). See ”Setting Up the Network Interface Adapter” on page 36 if you are connecting through a LAN. Check with your ISP for specifics on your connection.

Before you can connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail and faxes using telephone dial-up, you must connect the telephone line to the modem, which is in the computer.
