LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Connecting directly by modem, Before Connecting over a modem

Connecting directly by modem

Using modems and a phone line, you can connect to another computer or to an office network. For a direct, LapLink to LapLink connection, dial to a modem on another computer using Connect over Modem.

When you dial directly to another LapLink computer, and open a remote control session, you have access to all the programs and files available to that computer (including any network resources if the computer is logged on to a net- work).

Use Connect over Modem to dial a modem on another computer and open a LapLink connection to that computer.

Entries you have created for modem connections in the Address Book appear in the connection list to make connecting easier.

TIP For Best Results: Use only hard- ware-based modems, such as external (serial) modems. Most internal modems are unreliable for LapLink connections. For the latest information, visit www.laplink.com/support.

Before Connecting over a modem
