Getting Started
This chapter will walk you through the installation of your internal modem. Before getting started, make sure that
you have the following items:
· Modem
· Data/Fax/Voice software and Manual
· RJ11phone cord
· Telephone plug
· Analog (Standard) Telephone Jack
· Phillips Head Screwdriver or 1/4" Hex Screwdriver

Also, be sure that you have an available 8- or 16-bit expansion slot in your computer.
Installation
There are two parts to the installation of your modem: hardware and software. Hardware is the modem itself, which
will be installed inside of your computer. Your modem should be installed before your software.
Software allows you to communicate with your modem so that you can send and receive faxes, call an online
service to access e-mail, call a local Bulletin Board (BBS), or surf the Internet via the World Wide Web. Software
installation is discussed in your communications software manual.
