Telephone
(RJ-11) cable
Connecting the telephone cable to the fax/modem jack
Plug one end of the telephone cable into the fax/modem jack on
the left side of your computer and the other end into the wall jack.
If you are using the telephone line at home, disable call wait-
ing before you connect through the modem. Call waiting
interrupts transmission.
If you have a modem that is capable of transmitting over the cellu-
lar network you can use any cellular line. You need to remain sta-
tionary while transmitting data over a cellular phone. Transmitting
data while you are moving will cause problems when the cellular
network hands off the call to the next cell.
Now that you're set up it's time to communicate. You're ready to
send a fax (see the following section) or use the modem to connect
to the exciting virtual world of the Internet or an online service
(see "The Internet and Other Fascinating Places" on page 175).
