Ordering a phone line

You may use your existing phone line for regular modem connection to your ISP to save your budget. Or, you may apply for another phone line solely used for Internet Access. For faster access, you may consider applying ISDN line if that is available at your area.

Ordering an ISP account

If you don’t have an ISP account, contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you choose and set up an account. Write down all information to the ISP Worksheet on page 2-5 to make sure you have all the information to set up the Internet Sharer.

You may check with your friends, your phone carrier or local yellow page about who is the best ISP suitable for you.

Preparing PC running with LAN interface
