Step 3: Connect a phone line

If your computer does not include a built-in modem, you can skip this step. Also, if you
prefer, you can instead connect to a PC Card modem or an external modem.
1. Make sure the telephone line is an analog line, sometimes called a data line. (You
must not use a digital line.)
2. Connect the telephone cord to the built-in modem.
3. Plug the other end of the phone cord into a telephone jack. If the plug on the phone
cord doesn't fit the jack, you may need to use an adapter.
For details about using the modem, see "Using the Modem" on page 62.
