internal data/fax modem). 
!an ISP or RAS account. 
!configuration information from your ISP or network 
administrator that may include some or all of 
the following: 
 the dial-up telephone number 
 TCP/IP settings 
 port settings 
 a user name and password, if required

email account for each connection, if so desired. Follow 
the 
instructions in the sections that follow “Connecting to an 
ISP,” “Connecting to a RAS,” and “Sending and Receiving
