From Internet Application to Internet Connection

To connect to the internet, you will need a personal computer, communications software, browser software, and a modem. To connect to a digital telephone line (ISDN), you will need a terminal adapter or a communications port instead of a modem. Convenient packages are available that combine a modem with communications software, or terminal adapters or communications ports with the necessary software.

Once you have the necessary equipment to connect to the internet, follow these steps to get set up.
Apply to a commercial internet provider
Receive a telephone number, password and address form the commercial internet provider.
Load (install) the communications software programs into your computer.
Set up the telephone number, your password, address and other information in your communications software.
Now, get ready to connect!!
