Specific equipment
and programs are needed to connect to the Internet or to communicate with other
computers. You can use any type of computer such as IBM compatible or Macintosh
to connect to the Internet or communicate with other computers. You need
special programs to use the Internet. Most companies that connect you to
the Internet provide the programs you need free of charge. You also need
a modem to connect to the Internet. A modem translates computer information
into a form that can be transmitted over telephone lines. Modems can be
used to connect you to the Internet, exchange information, and to send and receive
faxes.
