Using the Internet
Getting started
1 Connect your computer’s modem to a telephone line.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If you are using the telephone line at
home, disable Call Waiting before you connect through the
modem. Call Waiting interrupts data transmission.
2 Start your Web browser. Have your modem dial the ISP’s
telephone number, and establish a connection with the ISP’s
computer.
If you are using your computer at the office, then you probably
connect to the Internet through your company’s local area
network. For more information, see “Connecting to a local area
network” on page 147.
