Setting up for communications
To communicate across the telephone lines with another
computer, you need:
❖The computer’s modem
❖A telephone line
❖An Internet Service Provider (ISP)
To connect to the Internet, you need a Web browser, such as
Microsoft® Internet Explorer.

Connecting the modem to a phone line

Your computer comes with a built-in modem. To use the
modem, you must connect it to a standard voice-grade RJ11
telephone line.
Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum
permissible rates during downloads. Actual data transmission
speeds will vary depending on line conditions.
1Attach one end of a standard RJ11 telephone cable to the
modem port.
2Plug the other end of the RJ11 telephone cable into the
modular jack of a standard voice-grade telephone line.
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s
modem, visit Toshiba’s Web site at toshiba.com.

Connecting your computer to a network

You can connect your computer to a network remotely, using
