Using the Computer’s Telephony Features
Your computer comes with Multimedia Connect, a communica-
tions program that lets you use the computer’s built-in modem to:
❖
Place and receive telephone calls
❖
Set up and use a voice mail system
❖
Send faxes directly from your word-processing or spreadsheet
program
For detailed information about this program, refer to the Multime-
dia Connect documentation provided with your computer.
The Internet and Other Fascinating Places
If you’ve never used a modem before, you may not be aware of the
vast array of possibilities that await you. There are four basic
options. You can:
❖
Subscribe to an online service.
❖
Explore the vastness of the Internet.
❖
Log on to an electronic Bulletin Board Service (BBS).
❖
Communicate directly with another computer, such as one
owned by a friend or one in your office.
The following sections describe each of these options, discuss
some of the factors to consider when choosing which ones to use
and provide a brief overview of how to access them.
