A DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) can
carry both voice and data information
over your existing phone line. A
cable
modem provides Internet access via
your cable TV line, and therefore this
may not tie up your phone line. DSL
can remain connected all of the time
so you never have to “dial up.”

dial-up Internet
access account.”
Tap this button if you already have

A modem (short for modulator/
demodulator) translates the digital
signals from your computer into
analog signals that can travel over
the phone line.
“I already have a
broadband Internet
access account.”
Tap this button if you already have a
broadband Internet access account
using a DSL or cable modem. Then tap
“continue.” To configure Audrey to access
your DSL or cable connection, you will
need a 3Com USB Ethernet adapter. For
more information, turn to
page 13.

To connect to the Internet,
you will need an Internet Service
Provider (or ISP). Just as you pay
the electric company to provide
your power, you pay an ISP to
bring the Internet into your home.

Do you have
Internet access?
In order to use Audrey, you need
Internet access. If you already have
Internet access, select the type of
Internet connection you have here.
If you already have a dial-up (analog
modem) or broadband (cable or DSL)
Internet access account, you can
probably set up that account for use
with Audrey. However, not all ISPs are
compatible with Audrey. For instance,
America Online
® and CompuServe ®
are not compatible. For a list of
compatible ISPs visit
3Com.com/ergo
before continuing.
If you do not currently have Internet
access or your current ISP is not
compatible with Audrey, you may
want to choose the option here to
enroll in a new account with AT&T
WorldNet
® Service, our preferred ISP.
If you want to start a new account
with an ISP other than AT&T WorldNet
Service, you should contact them now
to order service before continuing.
*
If you want to set up an account
with an ISP other than AT&T
WorldNet Service, contact that ISP
to order service. When you have your
new account information, press the
Actions Palette button, tap "Internet
Setup," and follow the instructions
on this page to set up that account.
