Equipment required



Hopefully, you have already decided that a computer is an absolute necessity for your business. Given you already have or will get a computer, the only additional piece of equipment required to support Internet access is a modem. This is the device that connects your computer to the telephone line. It is very important that this modem be able to transfer lots of data quickly. Fortunately, the cost of modems has come down considerably and for around $100 you can add a 28.8Kbps modem to your computer. 28.8Kbps defines how fast the modem transfers data and is the minimum speed you should use with the Internet for satisfactory performance.
