Setting Up a Serial Connection 4-5
In addition, your modem is only intended for use on an analog telephone line, also
called a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. Your modem cannot be directly
connected to a digital telephone line, such as those commonly found in commercial
buildings and offices. If you only have a digital telephone line, either use an analog
converter (available separately) that is compatible with your telephone line, or
subscribe to an analog line.
Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not sure about the
suitability of your telephone line.
