NOTE:
Before establishing a DSL connection to the Internet, you must establish DSL
service with your telecommunications service provider and ISP.
If you choose to continue using analog technology for your Internet connections, the
56K ITU V.90 Standard is supported by your Digital DSL/56K Modem. Connection
speeds vary based on the type of service available from your ISP and on telephone
line conditions.
