connection
• PSTN/ISDN (Public Switched Telephone Network /
Integrated Services Digital
Network) is the basic modem (dialup) connection.
PSTN is also referred to as POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service): business and home phones.
NOTE: Some businesses use a local PBX phone
system, which may complicate modem
connections. A direct access phone line is
recommended.
