usually charge a monthly fee for connection time. Some services they
provide may entail an additional charge. Since such electronic connections
are an important resource for computer users, Windows comes with its own
software for making such connections, as well as with software from some
of the major service providers (in the Online Services folder). You can also
use your modem in conjunction with financial software to perform your
banking and pay your bills electronically. Such software can also be used
to track investments by logging into providers who transmit market data.
In addition, you can use commercial tax preparation programs to send your
tax forms to the IRS electronically. Your state and local tax offices might
also offer such services.
Keep in mind that your modem is a phone, but unlike other phones, it is
very sensitive to noise. While you might be able to listen through static and
line noise and make out what your caller is saying, modems, which com-
municate in high-speed tones, are more finicky. If you find that your
modem has many disconnect problems, you might see if you can reduce
the line noise in your phone lines (sometimes the noise is in the lines from
your telephone service provider and there is little that you can do). Also, if
someone picks up a phone connected to the line and then hangs it back up,
this might be interpreted by your communications software to be a discon-
nect signal.
