Modem communications
Connecting a modem (option)
Your computer may come with a modem installed or you can install a
modem in one of the computer's expansion slots. To establish a serial
modem connection and connect, only requires you to connect the
modem to a standard, voice-grade telephone line using a telephone
cable and modular phone jack.

If you are using a home telephone line equipped with call waiting,
disable call waiting before connecting through the modem. Call waiting
interrupts modem transmissions.
Accessing the Internet
The Internet is a network of computer networks located all around the
world. To access it, you must have an Internet Ser vice Provider (ISP).
You access the Internet using a special program called a browser.
Although your operating system most likely comes with a browser, you
can install and use any commercially available browser.

Turning off the computer
It is a good idea to turn off the computer when you will not use it for a while.
□ If you have work in progress and expect to resume shortly, you can
use the Suspend command (if your Microsoft operating system
includes one) to save your system set tings so that, when you turn o n
the computer again, you automatically return to where you left off.
To leave the computer turned off for a longer period, use your
operating system's shut down command.
