Connecting the modem

Your modem is an expansion card already installed in the communication slot
of your computer. It enables your computer to send and receive faxes and
telephone calls, to connect to the Internet, to access online services, and to
communicate with other computer users. (You use the modem through the
appropriate software already installed on your computer. See your modem
documentation for information on how to use the modem and software.)

If you want to connect the modem now, follow the instructions in the next
illustration.

IMPORTANT

When connecting a modem, make sure you connect the modem to

an analog phone line—the kind used typically in homes. (A digital phone
line could damage the modem.) If you’re connecting the modem at home, you
probably have an analog phone line. Your modem manuals contain more
information about using your modem.
