        This chapter describes two computers configuration, one acting

        as server and other as client. The server computer will be

        configured to provide internet services and the client to make

        use of those internet services provided by the server

        computer. The connection medium both client and server

        computer use is the telelphone line (i.e., the same medium you

        use to realize phone calls).  In this configuration, both

        client and server computers use special devices named

        <quote>Modems</quote> to transmit data in form of sound across

        the telephone line.
