BACK IN THE 1980s THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU COULD GET ON THE INTERNET "FIRST, YOU REMOVE THE TELEPHONE JACK AND PLUG IT INTO THE MODEM" "THEN YOU TAKE THE WIRE FROM THE MODEM AND PLUG IT INTO THE TELEPHONE" "NEXT, SWITCH ON THE MODEM" "THE COMPUTER ASKS IF YOU WANT TO [Spoken audio]: Julian, I see you have your computer linked to the telephone line. Can you tell us how you did that? Yes, well it's very simple really. The telephone is connected to the telephone network with a British Telecom plug and I simply remove the telephone jack from the telecom socket and plug it into this box here, the modem. I then take another wire from the modem and plug it in where the telephone was. I can then switch on the modem and we're ready to go. The computer is asking me if I want to log on, and it's now telling me to phone up the main pressill computer, which I will now do. So it's a very simple connection to make? Extremely simple. And I can actually leave the modem plugged in once it's done that, without affecting the telephone. I'm now waiting for the computer to answer me. It asks for the tone, and then I just flick the switch on the modem and replace the receiver.
