Step 2
Next, connect your modem to the computer, as well as the telephone line, and additionally install the modem driver. Modems are connected to the telephone line simply using a regular telephone cable and telephone socket. Use a cable with two phone plugs at both ends. It is necessary to connect to the telephone line through the modem connector with the word LINE. Install the socket as close to the modem as possible, as the longer the cable length, the quality of the connection deteriorates.
Modem connections are of two types: dial-up and ADSL.
Step 3
When using a modem of the first type, in order to access the Internet, you will have to dial up to the provider via a telephone line each time, and your phone will be "busy" while you are on the network. When dialing to the provider's modem pool, your login (account name) and password are processed and checked. After successful completion of the operation, the subscriber will be assigned a free IP and given access to the network.

The technology of connecting a telephone line via ADSL is more promising.
