Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other

Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Criminals can take advantage of open
proxies to hide their identity when breaking into other computers or sending spam. If
you have an open proxy, your service provider may suspend your account to protect the
rest of the network.

Ethernet Connection

Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area
Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet
hardware.
Note: To connect more than one computer to the TM822R through the Ethernet port, you
need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers).
The Telephony Modem package comes with one Ethernet cable (the connectors look like
wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if necessary at a computer
retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Modem directly to a computer, or to an
Ethernet hub with a cross-over switch, ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable.
CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
