Connecting the modem to a telephone line

Before you can communicate using the modem, you need to
connect it to a telephone line. Your computer’s built-in
modem port provides an RJ-11 jack, allowing you to connect
the modem to a standard voice-grade telephone line.

Plug one end of a telephone cable (purchased separately) into
the modem port on the back of the computer.
