line.
The modem allows you to:

Access the Internet
❖
Communicate with your office’s local area network (LAN) or
larger corporate wide area network (WAN)
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or WAN,
consult your network administrator.
❖
Send a fax directly from your computer

standard voice-grade telephone line.
