computer, you need:

❖
A telephone line
❖
A communications program

built-in 10/100 Ethernet LAN adapter. To use the modem,
you must connect it to a standard voice-grade RJ11 telephone
line.

maximum permissible rates during downloads. Actual data
transmission speeds will vary depending on line conditions.
