A connection device is the interface that handles the communication between the
host and remote computers. A connection device might be a modem or ISDN, a
network protocol, or a port.
The connection device that you choose depends on the host and remote
environments. If the host and remote computers are nearby, you can connect
them directly using a cable that is appropriate for the port. For example, you can
set up a direct connection between a laptop computer and an office computer.
Both computers must use the same type of connection device to connect.
Table 5-2 provides information to assist you in selecting a connection device.
