Making Connections Using Your Modem Using Your Modem By connecting your modem to a telephone line, your PC can communicate with other computers throughout the world. You can explore the Internet, send and receive e-mail messages, and use your PC to send and receive faxes. Your Pavilion PC contains several software programs that work with your modem: • Internet Explorer, for browsing the World Wide Web • Outlook Express, for sending and receiving e-mail messages • QuickLink III, for sending and receiving faxes • eFax, a link to a Web site that allows you to receive faxes at your existing e-mail address The computer comes with a high-velocity V.90 K56flex™ modem. This modem allows you to connect to any Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has K56flex or V.90 interoperable modems. Check with your ISP for a list of telephone numbers that support K56flex and/or V.90. In most cases, the V.90 phone number will be the same as the K56flex number. Note that the maximum speed for faxing is 14.4Kbps. Even though the modem is capable of downloading at 56Kbps using K56flex technology, your ISP may not operate at this speed or support this technology. Please check with your service provider for information on its capabilities. Furthermore, download transmission rates depend on the condition of the telephone line. To sign up with an Internet Service Provider Before you can connect to the Internet, you need to set up an account with an Internet Service Provider. The notebook comes with wizards to help you locate and sign up with an ISP in your area. If you have an existing provider you'd like to continue using, you can use these same wizards to enter your account information. 1. Connect the included telephone cord to the built-in modem. If you prefer, you can instead use a PC Card modem or an external modem to connect to an Internet Service Provider. 58 User's Guide
