Setting Up
Part I: Getting To Know Your Computer

To find out which port your modem is connected to, follow these
steps:
1 Click the My Computer icon with the secondary
AccuPoint button.
2 Choose Properties.
Windows 95 displays the System Properties sheet.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Double-click on the modem you’re checking.
5 Click on the Modem tab.
The COM port is listed under Port.
6 Make a note of the port number.
7 Click OK twice to close Device Manager.
Choosing the Communications Program
The communications program you use depends on what you’re
planning to do. For example, to access the Internet, you’ll need
some form of Internet access program. To transfer files from your
office network, you’ll need a remote access program.
To log on to an online service or the Internet, see “What Do You
Need?” on page 182. General-purpose programs are discussed in
“Connecting Directly to Another Computer” on page 185.
Connecting to a Telephone Line
You need to connect the modem to a voice-grade telephone line.
Normally you do this using a telephone cable and a standard mod-
ular phone jack. As the business world becomes more accustomed
to busy executives and their portable computing needs, phone
jacks are becoming available in more locations. For example,
many hotels that cater to business travelers have one or more
phone jacks in each room.
