Note: If you’ve used the Setup Assistant to transfer information from an older
Macintosh and you want to use Setup Assistant to transfer information from it again,
make sure FileVault is turned off on the older Macintosh. To turn off FileVault, open the
Accounts pane of System Preferences and click Security. Follow the onscreen
instructions.
Step 3: Connect Your Cables
Next, connect your PowerBook to a phone line, DSL modem, cable modem, or Ethernet
network. If you’re connecting to a wireless AirPort Extreme 802.11b or 802.11g network,
you don’t need cables.
To connect to a phone line:
m Connect the phone cord from a wall jack to the internal modem port for a dial-up
connection.
Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line—the kind used
typically in homes. The modem will not work with a digital phone line.
For more information about your modem, see “Using Your Modem” on page 44.
For information on other types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the
Internet,” on page 79.

you are unsure whether you have a digital telephone line.
